AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1920. 

United States Senate, 

Subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary, 

Washington, D. C. 

The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10.30 o’clock a. m., in 
the committee room, Capitol, Senator Thomas Sterling presiding. 

Present: Senators Sterling (chairman), Walsh of Montana, and 
King. 

The subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary, had 
under consideration Senate joint resolution 171, providing for the 
recommendation of amnesty and pardon for political prisoners in 
the United States. 

Senator Sterling. The committee will be in order. 

Senator France. Mr. Chairman, I would suggest that the clerk of 
the committee read the resolution. I think it is quite important that 
we bear in mind that we are discussing this resolution, and I think 
it is, in view of that fact, quite important that the resolution be read. 

(The clerk of the committee here read aloud the resolution under 
consideration by the subcommittee, which is as follows:) 

JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for the recommendation of amnesty and pardon for political prisoners 

in the United States. 

Whereas there are in military prisons or under bail pending trial or appeal large num¬ 
bers of men and women whose offenses or alleged offenses are of a political nature, 
consisting only of opinions expressed, in words spoken or written, as distinguished 
from direct incitation to violence, violence, or overt acts against the Government, 
all such being held for such alleged offenses under the provisions of the espionage 
act; and 

Whereas the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States provides— 
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit¬ 
ing the free exercise thereof; or abridging freedom of speech, or of the press; or the 
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a 
redress of grievances”— 

in view of which provision there is grave doubt as to the constitutionality of the 
said espionage act and the act amendatory thereof; and 
Whereas the sole justification for such prosecution and imprisonment, that of war¬ 
time necessity, no longer exists; and 

Whereas in the democratic countries of Europe full amnesty and pardon has been 
granted to political prisoners: Now, therefore, be it 

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in 
Congress assembled , That it is the sense of the Congress that the further prosecution and 
imprisonment in the United States of such a body of political offenders is contrary 
to the democratic idealism and traditions of freedom to which our country is com¬ 
mitted; and 

Sec. 2. That we recommend to the President of the United States, the Attorney 
General of the United States, and the Secretary of War a careful consideration of the 
propriety, advisability, and wisdom of granting immediate pardon and amnesty to 
all prisoners whose religious, politcal. or economic beliefs only, as expressed in words 
spoken or written, formed the basis of their prosecution, trial, or imprisonment under 
the said espionage act and the act amendatory thereof. 

Senator Sterling. Senator France, whom have you to speak first 
to the committee ?

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


STATEMENT OF SENATOR JOSEPH I. FRANCE, OF MARYLAND. 

Senator France. Mr. Chairman, I will say only a word about this 
resolution. Careful attention to the wording of it will show that it 
applies to those political prisoners who have been in prison for words 
spoken or written, expressing opinions, and this resolution was intro¬ 
duced by me at the request of the representatives of the American 
Federation of Labor, the members of the American Federation, I 
believe, taking the view that it was the duty of the American Federa¬ 
tion, wherever possible, to come out in defense of the principles 
enunciated in the Constitution of the United States; that the members 
of that great organization, the greatest labor organization in the his¬ 
tory of the world, realized very fully that the welfare of the working¬ 
man is bound up in this question of the preservation of civil liberty. 

The workingmen of America realize that if they may be deprived 
of the right freely and fearlessly to express their opinions on govern¬ 
mental questions, if they may be deprived of that liberty in con¬ 
travention of the principles of the Constitution of the United States, 
it will be useless for them to attempt to struggle for a betterment 
of their condition. 

Of course, I do not care to discuss the constitutionality of the act 
amendatory to the espionage act. I could refer to the debates upon 
that act amendatory to the espionage act, and I think I could prove 
quite conclusively to the committee that the purport of that amend¬ 
ment to the espionage act was such that those entertaining the 
minority opinion would be deprived of the right of expressing that 
minority opinion. In other words, the act amendatory to the 
espionage act which was adopted in June, 1918, was designed to 
prevent the expression by spoken or written word of the minority 
opinion. That shows very clearly in the debate; it shows very clearly 
in the communications from the Department of Justice; and it shows 
very clearly in the rejection by the Senate, at the urgent request of 
the Department of Justice, of my amendment to the amendatory act, 
which provided that “ nothing in this act shall be construed as limit¬ 
ing the right of the individual to speak what is true, with good motives 
and for justifiable ends.” 

The rejection of that amendment served notice upon the country 
that men would be prosecuted for the expression of opinions, that 
they would be prosecuted for the speaking of words, even though 
those words might be uttered in conformity with the truth, from good 
motives and for justifiable ends. 

It may be, of course, that the argument of expediency can be ad¬ 
vanced in a time such as that through which we have been passing, 
but so far as I am concerned, and so far as those are concerned who 
are supporting this resolution, we feel that where a question of 
expediency arises, and where the adoption of motives of expediency 
would violate great principles, expediency should give way to prin¬ 
ciple rather than principle to expediency; and, in that doctrine, of 
course, we have the support of the founders of the Government. 

In a word, I feel, and I think those who support this resolution feel, 
that it is absolutely necessary for us to maintain the principles of our 
constitutional Government, realizing that the preservation of those 
principles will in the end prove to be the expedient and the wise 
thing. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 7 

It was said that we could not win the war unless we violated the 
Constitution of the United States hy suppressing minority opinion. 
I never shared that view. I feel that it was a mistaken idea, and I 
feel that it was unwise for us to enter upon the policy of attempting 
to preserve our constitutional Government by a flagrant violation of 
a constitutional principle. 

This resolution calls for a recommendation of amnesty for those 
who have been imprisoned for opinions held or words expressed. 
All of those in prison for words spoken or an opinion expressed are, 
in our judgment, in prison in violation of the first amendment of the 
Constitution of the United States, which prohibits Congress from 
enacting any statute abridging the right of freedom of speech. 

Senator Sterling. Senator France, may I not ask you there 
whether or not, without raising any question as to the constitu¬ 
tionality of the espionage act or any part of it, you might not now 
base a claim for amnesty and pardon of these prisoners on the ground 
of expediency? 

Senator France. Yes, Senator; there is a very strong argument 
in favor of granting amnesty without regard to the constitutional 
question involved. Personally, I think it would he expedient to 
release these prisoners, and in fact the department has already seen 
the advisability of remitting sentences, and of in some cases granting 
pardons. It would he very interesting to have incorporated in the 
record the history of some of the cases, and the reasons which were 
given for the granting of pardon or the remission of sentence; but 
that would take us too far afield. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. 

Senator France. And I will not enter upon that. This hearing 
to-day is really at the request of the American Federation of Labor, 
the representatives of which great organization are here, and we 
should be very glad to have them speak in the order which they 
prefer to adopt. 

Senator Sterling. Very well. Who of the representatives of the 
Federation of Labor will be heard now? 

Senator France. Mr. Gompers, will you go on now ? Mr. Gompers, 
the president of the American Federation of Labor, is here. 

STATEMENT OF MR. SAMUEL GOMPERS, PRESIDENT OF THE 
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR. 

Mr. Gompers. Mr. Chairman, the American Federation of Labor, 
at its convention last June, hy unanimous vote adopted a series of 
preambles and a resolution bearing upon this subject of amnesty and 
pardon for the political prisoners, the men and the women now incar¬ 
cerated in the prisons of our country upon the charge of some poli¬ 
tical offense. The offense to which we directed our attention was the 
spoken or the written word. 

May I say this, that the American Federation of Labor from its 
very inception, in 1881, and the elements of the organized workers 
making up and forming the constituent parts of the American Federa¬ 
tion of Labor, have from the beginning been as staunch advocates 
and defenders of the principles upon which the institutions of the 
Republic of our country are founded, as any body of men in all

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


America. Never for one moment has there been any deviation from 
that consistent course. 

Perhaps, during its entire existence, no better opportunity was 
ever afforded to the Federation to have its position known by the 
people generally than during the period of the Great War and just 
immediately preceding it. I think it is but just to say that even be¬ 
fore we entered the war—or were dragged into it—the feeling with the 
great majority of the members of the unions composing the American 
Federation of Labor was one of outrage at the war having broken out 
and the causes which brought it about. But as time went on, the 
overt and the brutal acts of the Imperial German Government so 
impressed themselves upon our minds that the executive council of 
our American Federation of Labor called a conference of the repre¬ 
sentatives and officers of the labor organizations of the United States, 
and asked them to meet and to consider what course we should outline 
as to any war which we might be forced into or which we might enter. 

The conference was held on March 12, 1917, in the American Federa¬ 
tion of Labor Building, and there and then, after deliberate discussion, 
a statement was adopted declaratory of the purpose which the men 
of the labor unions of America had in mind as to what our conduct 
and course should be. That conference declared, or we expressed the 
hope, that we might be safeguarded against war, and that we might 
be kept out of this maelstrom; but if for any reason it was found 
necessary for the United States to enter into the war, we pledged our 
honor and our lives in behalf of the Republic of the United States; 
and to defend i-t from enemies, no matter from which quarter they 
appeared. 

We called upon our fellow workers and our fellow citizens to give 
like loyal support to the principles, the entity and the integrity and 
the safety of the Republic of the United States of America. 

That was a conference called, out of the regular order in which the 
business of the American Federation of Labor is transacted. 

Senator Sterling. May I suggest, Mr. Gompers, that there is no 
question made concerning the loyalty of the American Federation 
of Labor, under this resolution. 

Mr. Gompers. Mr. Chairman, I am sure that that is quite true; 
but the proceedings of this meeting are being recorded, and it seemed 
to me that there are some other people who do not know as to the 
loyalty of the conduct of the American Federation of Labor, and who 
may hereafter read the proceedings of this meeting, and who may be 
aided by this- 

Senator Sterling. I do not believe that the loyalty of the American 
Federation of Labor, as such, will be brought in question during the 
course of these hearings. 

Mr. Gompers. More than likely; I quite agree with you, sir. But 
I do not think that every Senator of the United States agrees with 
you and me. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. 

Mr. Gompers. However, I shall then occupy a half a minute further 
on this line of thought, if I may. 

Senator Sterling. Proceed, sir. 

Mr. Gompers. That declaration was unanimously adopted, and a 
conference was held and the declaration made more'than three weeks, 
before the President of the United States appeared before the Con- 



AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS.

gress and laid the indictment against Germany before the House and 
the Senate. I will say that the declaration in all its sections was 
indorsed by unanimous vote at the succeeding convention. I am 
proud of being associated with a movement of men in our country 
who made good their plighted faith and declared loyalty. The only 
reason, Mr. Chairman, that I have made any reference to this matter 
is to say that whether the Constitution of the United States was 
violated in intent and purpose, it is not necessary for me to discuss. 
The fact is that the men of labor, the great mass of the people of the 
United States, including nearly every other citizen of our country, 
were willing to surrender anything, to make any sacrifice, so that we 
should win the war—anything, any sacrifice, was none too great; life 
itself, and that which is to many men more than life, an idea and an 
ideal; the hope of being of service to our fellows, and to safeguard 
the fundamental principles of self- overn^ ent—of freedom; in order 
that the people might go on, unafraid of attempt to destroy their 
freedom, for all time. 

Now, I want to submit that a people such as the people of the 
United States having arisen to a degree of enthusiasm and self- 
sacrifice which I have never known equaled in the history of the 
world, and which amounted to a paroxysm of sacrifice, of intense 
feeling to do or to die, when a time had arisen in the world where 
men had to make their choice of being willing to submit to the dic¬ 
tation of an overlord in principle and in fact, or to live their own lives 
and to work out their own destinies: a people wrought up with a feel¬ 
ing of that character, with a willingness to submit to any deprivation 
of their fundamental and normal rights, willing to sacrifice the con¬ 
veniences of their homes; when they are willing to do that to attain a 
specific object, they are entitled to consideration after the objective 
has been gained. 

The espionage law was one of those things that grated. No one, 
no real American—not merely one who can mouth his claims to 
nativity, but the people who are American as a matter of principle 
and who understand what America means, its idealism—would have 
consented willingly, without a protest, to the enactment of a law 
which in its very title, or the common name by which it is known, 
is offensive in the extreme to men who have some knowledge of what 
freedom means and what the law is destined to be—espionage. 

Senator Sterling. Well, Mr. Gompers, the term “espionage” may 
be said, I think, to apply properly to the first three sections of that 
act only. All the balance of the so-called espionage act probably 
would pertain to a state of peace as well as to a state of war—very 
much of it, anyhow. You take, for example, the chapter of the act 
relating to search warrants; we have never had a general Federal 
search-warrant law, and we adopted that law; and it would apply 
to times of peace as well as to times of war. And so with many 
other provisions of the act. I think the first three sections of the 
act may be said to come properly under the title “espionage”; but 
beyond that I hardly think it will apply. 

Mr. Gompers. Of course I did not give any attention this morning 
to any provisions of the law. I have not applied myself to any par¬ 
ticular sections of the hill. I have the three sections to which the 
Senator referred a minute ago. You can take a whole glass of water 


10 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

and just one drop of liquid may enter it and poison the whole glass 
of water, and poison the person who drinks it. 

I referred to the law, to the title of it, the commonly accepted title 
of the law, “the espionage law,” which is in itself offensive to the 
concept of Americanism—of American freedom. 

I have a copy of the resolution to which I referred a while ago, which 
was adopted by the American Federation of Labor convention upon 
the subject of the amnesty and pardon for political prisoners, and 
asking for the repeal of the espionage law. Before I proceed 
further I hope I may have the opportunity of having those resolu¬ 
tions read and made a part of the record. 

(The resolutions referred to were here read aloud by the secretary 
of Mr. Gompers, as follows:) 

Whereas the signing of the peace treaty finds in American civil and military prisons, 
or under bail pending trial or appeal, numbers of men and women whose offense 
is of a purely political nature; and 

Whereas the sole justification for such prosecution and imprisonment, that of war¬ 
time necessity, no longer exists; and 

Whereas in all democratic countries of Europe which have been associated ■with us 
in the prosecution of the war, full amnesty has been granted: Therefore be it 
Resolved , That it is the sense of the American Federation of Labor, in fortieth con¬ 
vention assembled, that the further prosecution and imprisonment in the United 
States of political offenders is contrary to the democratic idealism and the tradi¬ 
tions of freedom to which our country is committed; and be it further 

Resolved , That we accordingly urge upon the President of the. United States, upon 
the Attorney General of the United States, and the Secretary of War, to make all 
efforts possible to secure the granting of amnesty to all prisoners whose political 
beliefs formed the basis of their prosecution, trial, and imprisonment; and be it 
further 

Resolved , That we accordingly urge upon the United States Senators and Repre¬ 
sentatives to support Senator France’s joint resolution (S. J. Res. 171) for amnesty 
and S. 1233, to repeal the espionage law. 

Mr. Gompers. That resolution, as I sav, Mr. Chairman and gentle¬ 
men of the committee, was adopted by unanimous vote. 

Now, if the citizenship of the United States rendered a willing 
obedience and assistance in every way to this espionage law because 
they felt with the Congress that such a law was necessary in order to 
prosecute the war and to protect the United States against its enemies 
internally, if they believed that even those who were mistaken in their 
zeal might be prosecuted because it was safest for the Republic and 
for its cause that they should be apprehended, I submit that that 
situation has now passed. There is now no danger to the Republic 
from the cause for which this law was enacted. 

Senator King. Mr. Chairman, might I ask a question? Would it 
disconcert you, Mr. Gompers? 

Mr. Gompers. Certainly not. 

Senator King. Mr. Gompers, do you distinguish between those 
who negatively opposed the war and those who affirmatively opposed 
it and sought opportunity to give active aid and comfort to our 
enemies ? 

Mr. Gompers. Well, that depends, Senator. I do not know what 
that might be construed to mean, “giving active aid and comfort to 
the enemy.” For instance, I take second position to no man in the 
world as being more of a pacifist than I was before the war. Now, 
when the war broke out—when we entered the war—I was trans¬ 
formed into a pretty good, decent sort of fighting man. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


11 


Senator King. I think we all recognize that. 

Mr. Gompers. But now, permit me: If I had not seen this new 
light, if I had still directly believed in this pacifism—antimilitarism, 
if you please, this antiwar—at one time in my life I was willing to 
light for peace; that is, I was willing to resent any attempt on the 
part of anybody to force our people into war. Now, I did not retain 
that view. Oh the contrary, as I say, I gave what there was in me 
to my country, to trying to help it win that war. 

Now, supposing I had still been a pacifist, and believing so thor¬ 
oughly in this antiwar theory and policy, I had gone out and spoken 
in criticism of the Government in entering the war, or for any reason 
and in spite of the tremendous causes that brought us into the 
struggle—and as I have often said, we were dragged into the war— 
now, supposing I had still had that notion of being a pacifist and 
against war, and had said so publicly; if for the safety of the United 
States they had taken me and put me in some place of detention 
where I could not utter that silly nonsense during a state of war, 
well, I do imagine that when that danger had passed I ought to be 
given my freedom. And that is the thing to which I refer; that 
which the American Federation of Labor and its men had in mind 
when they adopted that resolution. Pacifism and the declaration of 
pacifism in the United States must of necessity have aided the 
enemy, but whether it was the aiding of the enemy in that sense 
in which that term is usually applied and understood I very much 
question. So that, pardon me if I can not answer the question any 
more definitely than I have tried to. 

Senator King. Take a case of this character—and there are a 
number of this kind, and I apprehend that your resolution just read 
does embrace that—there were a number of individuals who, dur¬ 
ing the war, were not merely negative, not merely pacifists as we 
usually use the term, but who actually advocated armed revolution 
against our own Government, and urged men to acts of violence 
for the avowed purpose of overthrowing the Government. Would 
they be embraced within the resolution as you interpret it? 

Mr. Gompers. No, sir; emphatically, no. We have as much to 
contend with in our American labor movement as is implied by your 
question, Senator, so far as the United States is concerned. They 
do not love us a bit more. 

Senator King. I understand that, and I was reasonably sure 
that the American Federation of Labor would not stand for acts of 
the character to which I have just referred. 

Mr. Gompers. No; not by any means. 

I would like to see this Republic of ours as soon as possible return 
to the normal conditions of life and labor and relations and govern¬ 
ment, and the relation of the people to the Government and the 
Government to the people; that normal condition which is implied 
in the charter of American rights, the Constitution of the United 
States. 

Senator King. I share that view. 

Mr. Gompers. The feeling of our people at this time is something 
that should receive the earnest consideration of the men in the 
service of the Government, and the Congress of the United States 
particularly. Here we are in a country as rich in every quality 
which goes to make up a country as any in the whole world, fertile 


12 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

beyond understanding, and here we have more than 100,000.000 
people in the United States, and just now every man willing and able 
to work; and living in a country such as I have indicated, rich and 
fertile, yielding up its wealth at the touch of the hand, and myriads 
of men willing to work, unemployed and in want, in a country such 
as this. If that in itself is not enough to make people restless and 
make them question themselves and place an interrogation point 
behind every question of civilization, even, in our country, it is 
something for us to think over. And with all that has transpired 
throughout the war, the sacrifices which the people were called 
upon to make and did make, and gladly made, with all the nervous 
tension, the loss of sons, brothers and sweethearts, the wounded, 
the maimed, the financial burdens ; then after the war had been won 
perhaps nothing could give better evidence of the feelings of the 
people of the United States than the demonstration upon the day 
when the armistice was signed; or, more so, in the days a few days 
before, when the rumors were flashed across the world that the 
armistice had been signed. It was a delirium. The people were 
really delirious with jov and excitement and nervous tension. 

Now, no relief has come in one way or another; and now this 
industrial situation has come; unemployment. And then, upon 
the statute books we have the law, such as this one, so absolutely 
un-American. Even if it was essential to the safety of the Republic 
in the war, that time has passed. It is not necessary now. I think 
that the sooner we get back to that condition of internal tranquillity 
and international peace with honor, the better, and the sooner will 
we get upon the road of that destiny' for which America, in m hope 
and in my conception, is to lead the world. 

Senator King. Under your resolution, I apprehend that those 
who have evaded the draft, who have been denominated slackers, 
many of whom escaped from the United States and fled from the 
United States during the war, would be immune from prosecution 
or relieved from prosecution? 

Mr. Gompers. The political prisoners? Would the;' be political 
prisoners or would their case be the case of an infraction or violation 
of the military law of the Government ? 

Senator King. They are not prisoners, really. They have not 
been apprehended, many of them. 

Mr. Gompers. But I mean those who have been in prison. They 
are in prison, mam' of them, those who evaded the draft law. 

Senator King. Yes. 

Mr. Gompers. I am not sure, but I am under the impression that 
the^ would not be, except the conscientious objectors. 

Senator King. Those have already been freed. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes; those have been freed. 

Senator King. I did not have those in mind, but those who willfully 
evaded the draft, fleeing the draft, man;,' of whom have not been 
apprehended; and some who have been, and are serving terms in 
prison, I do not know whether in a pententiary or whether in military 
confinement. 

Mr. Gompers. I am free to confess that I have not given that the 
consideration which it deserves; and either way might be compre¬ 
hended in the resolution. 

Senator King. Yes. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 13 

Mr. Gompers. But for those men who have committed anv act 
which involves moral turpitude, why, to them the ordinary course; 
and the process of the courts will deal and ought to deal with them, 
and for them we have not anything to say—that is, not as a rule. 
There may be a particular case of which I am not aware, and do not 
know anything at all about. But we want to get out of the war. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Have you any information, Mr. 
Gompers, as to how many persons now convicted of offenses and 
serving terms in prison would be affected by this resolution, and as 
to how many are now awaiting trial who would be affected ? 

Mr. Gompers. To the first question, I can say that there are about 
650. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Actually tried and convicted? 

Mr. Gompers. Yes; about that many. I may be 20 or 30 out, 
more or less. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. And the number awaiting trial? 

Mr. Gompers. I could not tell you, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana, Your remarks have been chiefly 
directed against prosecutions under the espionage act; but I conceive 
that two acts are involved, not only the so-called espionage act, 
but also the draft act. The draft evaders would come under the 
draft act; and so the conscientious objectors would come under the 
draft act and not under the espionage act ? 

Mr. Gompers. My understanding is that the resolution which the 
committee permitted me to have read and entered into the minutes 
does not cover the question of evaders of the draft. 

Senator France. They would not be included, Senator, as I 
understand. 

Mr. Gompers. They would not be, as I understand this resolution 
of Senator France. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. As you understand it, this was 
intended to cover only violations of the espionage act ? 

Mr. Gompers. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Let me call your attention, inasmuch 
as you ask a repeal of that act- 

Senator France. This is not for the repeal of the espionage act. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Well, it refers to the espionage act. 
Here is the language: 

All such being held for such alleged offenses under the provisions of the espionage act. 

Let me call your attention to the fact that the espionage act, 
so-called, consists of 13 different titles dealing with many different 
provisions. 

The first, from which it gets its name, deals with espionage. 

The second deals with vessels in ports of the United States, giving 
the President authority to dispose of vessels in the ports of the 
United States as he sees fit in time of war. 

The third title refers to injuring vessels engaged in foreign com¬ 
merce. which you will recall was enacted in view of the danger we 
were in that German vessels interned in our ports might be injured 
while they were there. 

Mr. Gompers. Senator, just a moment. As to that second section 
to which you have referred, even without that law would not the 
President have the same power to distribute the men in the service 
of the United States wherever he in his judgment might see fit? 



14 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes; but this refers to vessels in the 
merchant service, over the men upon which he would not have 
control. 

Mr. Gompers. Would we require that in time of peace? 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I do not know. I should imagine not. 
I should imagine that would be taken care of by the local harbor 
authorities. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes. 

Senator Wal«h of Montana. Title IV of the act refers to interfer¬ 
ence with foreign commerce by violent means. I will read Title IV. 
[Reading:] 

Title IV.—Interference with Foreign Commerce by Violent Means. 

Section 1 . Whoever, with intent to prevent, interfere with, or obstruct or attempt 
to prevent, interfere with, or obstruct the exportation to foreign countries of articles 
from the United States shall injure or destroy, by fire or explosives, such articles or 
the places where they may be while in such foreign commerce, shall be fined not more 
than $10,000, or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both. 

You will remember that that was occasioned by the tremendous 
explosion up there across from New York, in New Jersey. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The fifth title of the act refers to the 
enforcement of neutrality. Of course we ought to have some law to 
enforce neutrality. 

Title VI is on the seizure of arms and other articles intended for 
export. 

The seventh title is on certain exports in time of war unlawful. 

Title VIII is on disturbance of foreign relations. 

Title IX is on passports. 

Title X is counterfeiting Government seal. 

Title XI is search warrants. 

Title XII is on use of the mails. 

I apprehend that really what you want is the repeal of Title I. 

Senator Sterling. Much of that act is a reenactment of previous 
legislation—statutes we have had. 

Mr. Gompers. There are many of those provisions of the act which 
are already covered by laws upon the statute books. But even if 
the}^ are not, could they not be enacted or retained as they may be 
found to be necessary? 

Senator Walsh of Montana. That is what I have indicated, that 
I take it that what you really want is a repeal of Title I. These 
other sections have not particularly addressed themselves to you, 
have they? 

Mr. Gompers. They have not. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. It is the provisions of Title I, I dare 

**av 

Since you have made some comment in relation to that, Mr. 
Gompers, which was at least I will say in criticism of the Congress 
that passed it, I want to read that title to you and get your view 
about the matter as we go along, considering that it was passed like 
a great many of these others to which I called your attention. Prac¬ 
tically every one of these 13 titles of this espionage act was enacted 
to meet some condition of things which then arose respecting foreign 
commerce. Transfers of materials important for war were being 


AMN.ESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


15 


made from this country over to Canada and from Canada to other 
countries, and the agents of the public enemy in this country en¬ 
deavored to obstruct the passage of this commerce. Large quantities 
of goods were stored in these great warehouses which suddenly blew 
up, killing numberless people and destroying materials very essential 
for the prosecution of the war. That dealt with that subject; and 
so on. So that, bear in mind that this Title I of the espionage act 
was enacted to meet conditions which then existed or were supposed 
to exist. It provides as follows: 

Section 1 . That (a) whoever, for the purpose of obtaining information respecting 
the national defense with intent or reason to believe that the information to be obtained 
is to be used to the injury of the United States, or to the advantage of any foreign nation, 
goes upon, enters, flies over, or otherwise obtains information concerning any vessel, 
aircraft, work of defense, navy yard, naval station, submarine base, coaling station, 
fort, battery, torpedo station, dockyard, canal, railroad, arsenal, camp, factory, mine, 
telegraph, telephone, wireless, or signal station, building, office, or other place con¬ 
nected with the national defense, owned or constructed, or in progress of construction 
by the United States or under the control of the United States, or of any of its officers 
or agents, or within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, or any place in 
which any vessel, aircraft, arms, munitions, or other materials or instruments for use 
in time of war are being made, prepared, repaired or stored, under any contract or 
agreement with the United States, or with any person on behalf of the United States, 
or otherwise on behalf of the United States, or any prohibited place within the mean¬ 
ing of section 6 of this title; 

Now, that is section (a). It provides that anybody who does 
that shall be punished. I dare say you did not intend to criticize 
Congress for passing that kind of an act ? 

Mr. Gompers. I did not intend to criticize Congress at all, Senator. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You told us that the act was in 
violation of the very concept of the American Government. 

Mr. Gompers. I said that it was violative of the constitutional 
provisions guaranteed as the first amendment. I am speaking of 
the entire law as it refers to the subject with which we are dealing. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. No, Mr. Gompers; I think, if you 
will pardon me, you were referring only to one specific paragraph 
of the law, to which I shall invite your attention a little later. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I was just simply calling your atten¬ 
tion to the fact that you do not want a sweeping repeal of the 
espionage act. Your criticism is all directed, I think, to a couple 
of brief paragraphs, and I suggest to you that you do not even want 
that provision to which I have referred repealed. 

Mr. Gompers. No, that refers- 

Senator Walsh of Montana. That particularly refers to enemy 
spies who go about the country. Even at the present time, in time 
of peace, we hear every now and then of them, and much of it is 
true, I have no doubt; of foreign countries that have representatives 
spying around this country to get information that would be of 
possible value in case we should get at war with them some time or 
other. 

Mr. Gompers. I will say to you, sir, that the proposition with 
which our resolution deals was not that which the United States 
found it necessary to protect itself against, the aggression of the 
common enemy, and aided in the manner stated by the section 
read by you just now, by those who are in the United States. 



16 AMNESTY AND PARDON POR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I feel sure of that, Mr. Gompers, 
and I feel sure that your resolution demanding the repeal 01 the 
entire espionage act is very much more comprehensive than you 
intended that it should he; that it does not even extend to Title I 
of the act, but to only a few brief paragraphs of Title I. The whole 
espionage act has been condemned because of objections to certain 
specific provisions of Title I of the act. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes; that may be. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Let me go on. [Continuing reading:] 

( b ) Whoever for the purpose aforesaid, and with like intent or reason to believe, 
copies, takes, makes, or obtains, or attempts, or induces, or aids another to copy, take, 
make, or obtain, any sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blue print, plan, 
map, model, instrument, appliance, document, writing, or note of anything connected 
with the national defense. 

That fellow we dealt with. 

Senator Sterling. You h&ve no objection to that, have you? 

Mr. Gompers. No, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Now let us go on. 

Mr. Gompers. Senator, mav I interrupt? 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes. 

Mr. Gompers. In the resolution you will find that it urges the 
repeal of the espionage law in so far as is contained in Senate resolu¬ 
tion 1233, the resolution as presented by Senator France in the Senate 
of the United States. 

Senator Sterling. The resolution does not demand the repeal of 
the espionage act. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I understand that. I had no idea 
that it did. I understand the purpose of the resolution is something 
entirely different, and I concede that; but I was directing my 
inquiries, Mr. Gompers, to the resolution read into the record, passed 
by the American Federation of Labor, and I was referring to your 
own denunciation of the espionage act as being violative of our con¬ 
cept of American liberty. 

Mr. Gompers. I had in mind those particular features of it to which 
I referred, and having for its basis the indorsement of the resolution 
introduced by Senator France. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Well, I do not care to discuss this 
matter any further. I will say this, very frankly. I am quite in 
sympathy with the purpose of the resolution, and unless my mind 
changes about it, I shall, although I do not like the resolution as it 
stands, give the principle of it my support. 

Mr. Gompers. That is all we ask. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. But much has been said in a general 
way, Mr. Gompers, in the way of general denunciation of the so- 
called espionage act—inconsiderately said. Both of the members 
of the committee who are present were earnest supporters of that act, 
and I think that the Congress did its simple duty at the time of the 
enactment of that law. That the time has gone by, happily, when 
some of its provisions are important, I think must be conceded. 

Mr. Gompers. I should say this, Senator, that—I think it was 
before you entered—I spoke of the need on the part of the United 
States to protect itself against its enemies in our country during 
that awful period; but I did urge that in my judgment the provisions 
of which we asked the repeal had filled a need the time for which is 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 17 

past, and I am very glad to have heard von say, sir, that at least in 
principle you are with the resolution of Senator France. 

Senator Sterling. Now, since it is a mooted question, Mr. Gompers, 
as to whether any part at all of the espionage act should be repealed, 
might you not well leave out this second provision in the resolution 
which quotes the constitutional provision, and which then proceeds 
to say: 

In view of which provision there is grave doubt as to the constitutionality of the 
said espionage act and the act amendatory thereof, 

And base your claim to the enactment of this resolution upon 
the ground of expediency, without reference to the constitutionality 
of any part of the espionage act, the war now being over? 

Mr. Gompers. Of course, Mr. Chairman, the part you have quoted 
of the resolution, to which you make reference, is not the resolution 
of the American Federation of Labor. It is the resolution of Senator 
France, and I do not know how far he would he willing to go. But, 
speaking now for myself, and so far as I may for the constituency 
which has made me president, I would say, sir. if the desired result 
can be obtained by the elimination of that language of the resolution, 
I should join in a petition to Senator France to eliminate it. 

Senator France. Which would be immediately granted, Mr. 
Gompers, because the principle is the essential thing. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Mr. Gompers, the Senator wanted to 
reach the objective. We do not want a resolution solemnly adopted 
by the Senate of the United States which attacks in itself the con¬ 
stitutionality of an act passed during the war by Congress. 

Senator Sterling. Yes; and I might say that section 1 from and 
after the preamble might be omitted, and it would not prevent the 
enactment of section 2 of the resolution, which would accomplish the 
purpose you desire to attain. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Permit me to say that in my judg¬ 
ment, so far as a demand for the repeal of the espionage act is con¬ 
cerned, there is in mind only section 3 of Title I. I am perfectly 
certain that none of the agitation has contemplated any other pro¬ 
vision of this very extensive act. As to section 3, there is misunder¬ 
standing and much misrepresentation concerning its import. It is 
quite plain. It reads as follows: 

Sec. 3. Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall wilfully make or convey 
false reports or false statements— 

bear in mind, he must do it wilfully; the reports or statements must 
be false— 

with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of 
the United States or to promote the success of its enemies and whoever, when the 
United States is at war, shall wilfully cause or attempt to cause insubordination, 
disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military or naval forces of the United 
States, or shall wilfully obstruct the recruiting or enlistment service of the United 
States, to the injury of the service or of the United States, shall be punished by a fine 
of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than 20 years, or both. 

Now let me remark that I have no doubt at all that, in the hysteria 
in which the people were, quite naturally and quite reasonably, 
during the war, some people were actually tried and convicted who, 

34773—21-2 


18 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

upon a calm consideration of the case, never should have come 
within the provisions of the act; and that is one consideration which 
induces me now to support the claim for a general amnesty, because 
you can not tell—that is, accurately tell—which of them were prop¬ 
erly convicted and which were not properly convicted. 

1 think, though, that those who demand the repeal of the law have 
in mind the cases of those who were improperly convicted, and not 
the cases,of those who were very justly convicted. 

You see, Mr. Gompers, even in time of peace men are often con¬ 
victed, you know, who never ought to have been convicted; and it 
has been afterwards disclosed that men had been hung who were not 
guilty of the crimes for which they were executed. But that is no 
reason why we should wipe the murder statute off the book. The 
best we can do in this country, you know, or in any other country,, 
is to give a man a trial by jury, when he is charged with the com¬ 
mission of an offense. Many times, and particularly in times of 
great stress, jurors make a mistake and convict a man that they 
ought not to convict. 

Mr. Gompers. Not only jurors, but even some well-intentioned 
judges. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. No doubt about that, sir. They are 
human, just the same as jurors are human. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. Take section 3, now, as read by Senator Walsh. 
I am quite sure that there is nothing in that section 3 that you would 
repeal. It applies to a state of war, and applies to certain acts while 
in a state of war. 

Mr. Gompers. And when we are still at war. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. 

Mr. Gompers. And we are still at war. 

Senator Sterling. Oh, no. 

Mr. Gompers. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. In a technical sense. 

Mr. Gompers. Not in a technical sense, but in an actual sense. 
In so far as the men who labor are concerned, we are still at war; 
that is, the war law is applied to us. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. While that is undoubtedly true, you 
will bear in mind that this goes on in section 3: 

Shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to inter¬ 
fere with the operation or sucess of the military or naval forces of the United States— 

We are not conducting any military operations against any enemy 
now, except that we have an army of occupation over in Germany— 
or to promote the success of its enemies. 

That is an essential part of the crime. 

Mr. Gompers. And the action of men engaged in coal mining and 
in machinery trades, and others, who are engaged in the effort to 
protect themselves against the imposition of worse conditions it is 
not difficult to have the law so interpreted, or that it be so inter¬ 
preted, as to apply to these men. And not that they are attempting 
to protect themselves and each other, but that the intent is to delay 
or interfere with the passage of vessels and other means of transpor¬ 
tation. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 19 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Mr. Gompers, as a law}^er, I should 
say that it was not only difficult, but impossible. 

Mr. Gompers. Well, that is very well. That is the same old thing 
of the poor devil who was put in the stocks, and his lawyer advised 
him that they could not do it, but he was there. And all the lawyers 
are not of the caliber and character of Senator Walsh. 

Senator France. We are sorry they are not. 

Senator Sterling. Is there anything further you wish to say, 
Mr. Gompers ? 

Mr. Gompers. Not now, sir; on this subject. 

Senator France. In that connection, Mr. Chairman, I think it 
should be indicated that the act amendatory of the espionage act 
has language much broader than that which the Senator has just 
read. 

STATEMENT OF MR. RICHARD C. TOLMAN, OF WASHINGTON, 

D. C. 

Senator Sterling. Please give your name and occupation. 

Mr. Tolman. Richard C. Tolman; chemist; Washington, D. C. 

Senator Sterling. Are you in the Government service? 

Mr. Tolman. Yes; in the Ordnance Department. 

Mr. Chairman, I merely wish to say that I am in favor of a general 
amnesty for political prisoners such as is recommended by Senator 
France's resolution. 

During the war I had the privilege of serving for a short time as 
major in the chemical warfare service, and I wish to state my be¬ 
lief that there are a great many men who served in the Army in posi¬ 
tions of much greater responsibility and danger than mine who are 
also in favor of the general amnesty for these political prisoners. 
These political prisoners are many of them in jail because they did not 
believe that it was wise for the United States to go into the war, and 
they had the courage to say so. Now that the war is over, we see 
that the issues were much more complicated and confused than we 
thought. I think we should no longer continue to punish these men 
because they did not agree with us. I thank you very much. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Wait a moment ; let us see about 
that, Maj. Tolman. You say there are many people in prison now? 

Mr. Tolman. I did not sa}^ there were many. 1 said there were 
many men who had been in the Army who agreed that- there should 
be this amnesty. 

Senator Walsii of Montana. Yes; but you said that there were 
men in prison now who were of the opinion that the war was not jus¬ 
tifiable and who had had the courage to say so. 

Mr. Tolman. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Can you give us one single instance of 
that? 

Mr. Tolman. Yes, sir: Eugene V. Debs. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You think Debs is in prison just 
simply because he was opposed to the war and said so ? 

Mr. Tolman. Yes, sir. 

Senator Walsii of Montana. Did he not do more than simply say 
that he was opposed to the war ? Did he not do something or say 
something for the purpose of preventing enlistment ? 


20 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Mr. Tolman. Not that I have any knowledge of. 

Senator Sterling. Do you know the exact charge against him, 
Major? Do you know the exact charge against Eugene V. Debs— 
the offense with which he was charged ? 

Mr. Tolman. I have seen no charge made that he did anything 
except state that he did not believe we should go into the war. If 
there has been any other charge made I would be very glad to know 
about it. 

Senator Sterling. I think there has been a more serious charge 
than that against Eugene V. Debs. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You have heard section 3 of the 
espionage act read ? 

Mr. Tolman. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Would you not think that one who did 
those things was guilty of a crime ? 

Mr. Tolman. No, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You would not? 

Mr. Tolman. No, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. If the Supreme Court of the United 
States affirmed the charge against Debs, they must have found that 
he did something more than say that, because that would not be a 
crime under section 3; is not that the case ? 

Mr. Tolman. Was that a unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court 
of the United States ? 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes; a unanimous opinion, with no 
dissent at all, in the Debs case. 

Senator France. I think the point was that it was held that 
those words were spoken under such circumstances that they tended 
to interfere with the enlistment of men in the military or naval 
forces of the United States. 

Senator Sterling. We will get the opinion of the court and see 
what the Supreme Court of the United States said about it. Who 
is the next witness to be heard ? 

Senator France. Mrs. Lucy Robbins, secretary of the amnesty 
committee of the American Federation of Labor, wants to be heard. 

STATEMENT OF MRS. LUCY ROBBINS, SECRETARY OF THE 

AMNESTY COMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF 

LABOR. 

Mrs. Robbins. I will not attempt to make any speech or to argue 
the resolution before you, but 1 feel that as secretary of the amnesty 
committee of the American Federation of Labor, knowing exactly 
the opinions and the feelings of actually millions of people, the best 
I can do is simply to bring the reports to you which are not just 
personal opinions, and simply to tell you all the reasons why there 
is a demand and a request made for general amnesty for political 
prisoners, and how it was that we found out who they were, and who 
they are, and what we expect. 

It was not until the war laws began to be used against organized 
labor, as Mr. Gompers has stated, during the time of the miners* 
and several other strikes, it was not until then that the rank and 
file of organized labor began to realize that there was such a thing 
as the labor act and the espionage law. I do not know that they 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


21 


knew just exactly what the laws were, but they did know that during 
the strike, as free American citizens they were hampered in their 
strike, they were arrested at times at meeting places during the 
strike, they were prohibited to have meeting places, and they were 
convicted under the espionage law. That happened during the 
steel strike and the miners’ strike. 

Senator Sterling. Now, Mrs. Robbins, can you give any concrete 
instance of where men engaged in mining were convicted under the 
espionage law and are now in prison ? 

Mrs. Robbins. I will come to that point, sir. 

Senator Sterling. Very well. 

Mrs. Robbins. I am only relating to you the feeling that it created. 
As I told you before, they did not know exactly what the laws were, 
or just how the laws were formed, but merely they felt that, during 
the time when their speakers were taken off the platform and brought 
into court, and they were convicted; and they were told they were 
convicted under the espionage law, and they were fined, and put in 
prison for 30 or 60 days or more. Those are the cases. I have not 
got the concrete particulars, as I was not interested in that part of it; 
that is, I did not take an active interest in it myself. It is only the 
feeling that was created throughout the country; and thousands of 
letters and resolutions came into the office of the American Federa¬ 
tion of Labor asking Mr. Gompers and the officers to investigate this 
operation, in time of peace, of laws passed in time of war, and who are 
the political prisoners, or the men are who were convicted under those 
laws, realizing that they were not guilty of crimes of any kind when 
they were taken and convicted under these laws. 

It was only then, after Mr. Gompers had arranged this first council 
at the War Department, that we began to find out, there, who the 
political prisoners were. We found that they had them classified 
in three classifications. They had them classified as military of¬ 
fenders, as Col. Penn termed them; and according to the specifica¬ 
tions he had at that time, he said that during the war, or rather in 
1917, there were about 15,000 of what he called these military of¬ 
fenders. Those were soldiers who either volunteered or were drafted— 
most of them volunteers—who had been across on the firing line but 
because of various offenses they had committed had been court- 
martialed and sentenced to 3, 5, 10, 15, or 20 years of imprisonment. 

Senator Sterling. Now, that class of offenders would not come 
within the provisions of this resolution, would they? 

Mrs. Robbins. I doubt whether they would. I spoke to Senator 
France a few minutes ago, because our resolution did read that way, 
that is, the one that was adopted by the American Federation of 
Labor originally. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I suppose they were sentenced for all 
kinds of crimes ? 

Mrs. Robbins. I suppose they were. We do not know just what 
they have done. 

Senator Walsh of Montana (continuing). Murder, arson, and 
burglary included. 

Mrs. Robbins. But there is a question whether they should have 
been convicted or should have been sentenced to 25 years of im¬ 
prisonment. You must consider the fact that you had taken these 
men that were always free men and felt that they had their rights 


22 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


in their country, and placed them in an environment that was en¬ 
tirely abnormal; and the question is whether they would commit 
these crimes or offenses in times of peace and in our own country, 
that they committed out there; and the answer to that is that out 
of 15,000 prisoners we found that about six or seven months ago 
there were only 1,700 left. They had remitted the sentences of the 
others and had released them and pardoned them; and they were 
reviewing the cases of those men constantly; and you will find these 
men, convicted and sentenced to serve 15 years, served one year and 
got out. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You will bear in mind that that was 
the subject of very earnest discussion in the Senate. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes; I do. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Senator Chamberlain made a very 
vigorous assault upon that, and we had information of a very differ¬ 
ent character there. Two members of the corps of the Judge Advo¬ 
cate General's office who were from my State denounced very vigor¬ 
ously and bitterly to me many of the judgments made by these 
military courts. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. But the War Department organized 
a board of review, and that board of review reversed many of these 
sentences. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes; we know that. 

Senator Walsii of Montana. And Senator Chamberlain, as you will 
recall, was attacking the system under which they were reviewed. 

Mrs. Robbins. That is true; and we are interested in that part of 
the bill. Our resolution reads for the three classes. 

Senator Sterling. These of whom you speak are merely in for 
military offenses ? 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. How many do you say there are? 

Mrs. Robbins. About seven months ago there were 1,700. There 
might have been others released since. I did not get the latest report 
from the War Department, there. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Is it not quite likely that in view of 
the liberal action of this reviewing board, and the evident disposition 
to let them off, those who remain are those who were convicted of 
very serious crimes ? 

Mrs. Robbins. Col. Penn claims that there were a small number 
that committed serious crimes. Now, he felt that a few of those 
should be confined, those that have committed serious crimes that 
are serving their sentences; but that they should not hold 15,000 of 
those men for long sentences, and deprive their families, some of 
them, of bread winners. 

In the second class we found there were conscientious objectors. 
There were originally about 600 of those, and according to the record 
of the War Department, which gives first their name and then the 
reasons why they objected to war, and who they are, we found that 
it was not at all as we have read in the newspapers of who they are. 
We found most of those men were splendid fellows, some of them 
from colleges, some of them from organized labor, some of them from 
the very best of professions and trades, and their objection to war, 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 23 

according to the record, was that either they objected to war because 
they did not believe in war at all, claiming that it is uncivilized and 
inhuman, and that if anyone prefers to go and fight and kill his broth¬ 
ers, they will not, under any considerations; and others that they have 
there, that they did not believe in this particular war; they did not 
believe that it was fought for the betterment of the human kind, and 
they felt they would rather die on American soil, knowing that they 
did not participate in it, than to go over and die or be killed on the 
other side. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Those were men that came under the 
military authority because they were drafted, I suppose? 

Mrs. Robbins. Some of them were drafted and some of them were 
not. They were just arrested and tried through the military courts 
and imprisoned. Some of them also had received sentences of fifteen 
to twenty years. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I apprehend that the military court 
would not be able to get jurisdiction of anyone except those who were 
drafted. 

Mrs. Robbins. I do not know how they got some of them. They 
were not drafted. They' did not serve and did not come into the 
draft law. But they found in the War Department that it was an 
injustice done to them to keep these splendid men, about 600 in 
number, under such a penalty. They began to review those cases as 
fast as possible. The last letter that I had written in relation to them 
was about November 20 or November 15—about that date—and the 
final answer I got from the Department of War was on the 22d of 
November, telling me that they have now finally remitted all unex¬ 
pired sentences, and by the 30th of November every person impris¬ 
oned as a conscientious objector would have been released; and since 
then we have found that it was the case. So that the War Depart¬ 
ment, so far as we are concerned, has released the conscientious 
objectors; and those who had criminal trials, they are reviewing 
those cases as quickly as they can, to release those that are confined 
there. 

The third class that was before the Department of Justice was 
those convicted under the espionage law. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Has the War Department a record 
of those? 

Mrs. Robbins. Of which? 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Of those convictions under the De¬ 
partment of Justice ? 

Mrs. Robbins. No; I got them from Mr. Palmer. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Exactly. 

Mrs. Robbins. And I do wish with all my heart that your com¬ 
mittee could visit some of the jails, as I have done, to see some of 
these nrisone' s convicted under the espionage law. We did not know 
of them ou'selves, and in older to know them, we got the record as 
nearly as possible from the Department of Justice and visited these 
jails to find out who they were,'and what type of men they are. For 
instance, if you will go to Atlanta, Ga.—I do not care to bring in any 
individual names; we did not start to ask for amnesty because of any 
particular individuals, but because of the principle at large that each 
man has a right to express his opinion according to his convictions— 


24 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


we found that for instance there is in Atlanta, Ga., an old man by the 
name of Rear. He is there with three sons. He is over 60 years of 
age, entirely white; sick, and deaf. When he whispered into my 
ear—because he can not hear his own voice and he does not know how 
low he talks—he said, “All I ask is that you will get us out. That is 
all I ask.” I asked him what did he do. He said he felt during the 
time of the draft that his county was overdrawn, in equity, and as an 
American man he said he thought that he had a right to protest 
against what was wrong; and the draft board took that against him, 
and arrested him and his three sons, and they were imprisoned and 
sentenced to from three to five years. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Did you learn the specific charge 
against him ? 

Mrs. Robbins. That is what he told me. I do not know. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes. 

Mrs. Robbins. Because it is very hard to get these cases before 
the War Department. It took us three years to get some kind of 
statement out of there at all. 

Senator Sterling. As secretary of the amnesty committee of the 
American Federation of Labor, you have not gone far enough to 
ascertain what the specific charges were against certain individuals ? 

Mrs. Robbins. It was impossible to do that, because there have 
been so many appeals and so many releases on bail, and so many 
pardons, that I do not believe that the Department of Justice, 
themselves, know exactly the charges that go into each case sepa¬ 
rately; and to verify them you would have to go to the records of 
the supreme courts where they were convicted. That is the way 
they explained to me—that they had to bring the records from the 
supreme courts; and with all the work they have it is impossible. 
We have a report of these cases- 

Senator Walsh of Montana. How many cases were there ? 

Mrs. Robbins. That is something we can not tell definitely. You 
see, we got the first report of Mr. Palmer; but you can not tell who 
is in and who is out, because there have been so many pardons and 
so many expirations of cases, so many that went out, that you can 
not make head nor tail of the thing. But the thing I can state is, 
we have the report of this week from the Department of Justice. 
There was a conference held with Mr. Palmer and Mr. Gompers, 
and about 25 international presidents and prominent people, with 
reference to this proposition, and Mr. Palmer claimed there were 
then about 180 that he released entirely under the espionage act- 
pardoned them. He claimed there were about 174 left. 

Senator Sterling. When was that ? 

Mrs. Robbins. That was in September, the 15th of September. 
Those were actually in prison then. You see, there were about that 
many, if not more, out on bail or on appeal, but he did not consider 
those at the time. He only considered those that are in jail. Since 
then he claims that he has released 19—that is, within the last few 
weeks—and he has now on hand those on this list, which includes 168, 
for whom we ask for relief as quickly as possible. 

Senator Sterling. That would include nearly all ? 

Mrs. Robbins. That are in jail. But that does not include those 
who are out on appeal or on bail. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. How many are there in jail? 



AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


25 


Mrs. Robbins. One hundred and four. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. How many are convicted and out on 
bail? 

Mrs. Robbins. That I could not get exactly. But the next thing 
I wanted to impress upon the committee is not so much the tech¬ 
nicalities of the law, but that if you would come and find these men 
and see them face to face as we have found them, you could not under 
any circumstances be willing to sit quietly without releasing these 
men. 

I sat here listening to you talk of the proposition of the accusa¬ 
tions against Debs. I had never met Debs before I went to Atlanta, 
Ga., but when I went there I have always visited with him, several 
times, and I would only say that if you would ask of the warden to 
tell you who is Debs and what is Debs you would find that no one 
could give a better recommendation for any human being in the 
world than the warden or the guards or any Government official 
would give for Eugene V. Debs. 

The fact is that ever since he came there he is a man that is con¬ 
sidered actually a saint or a Jesus Christ, because when the night 
comes and work is over, he goes out into the yard where all the 
men, the criminals, come around him, and for each one he has a 
word to tell them. For each he has a word to awaken in them the 
human spirit, the feeling that has been lost for years and years, of 
those murderers. It is since then that the warden claims that in 
the penitentiary at Atlanta there is a feeling that has never been 
there before; and I am sure that a man of that kind could never be 
accused in any way that he could be harmful to any country or to 
any man existing in the world. He surely could never propagate 
crime, he could not propagate violence. It is not in his nature. 
Even if he would attempt to say it, he never could say it. He can 
only say good things: and he can bring out the best that is in the 
worst kind of a criminal. There has been a man there that 
has been convicted—I do not know whether it is proper to tell 
all these things, but I can not help doing so when it is brought before 
this committee—there is a colored man there convicted of murder. 
He has been in that penitentiary for years. They could never break 
that man's spirit. There was murder in his eyes and murder in his 
heart. The only means they used against him was a club; knocked 
him down and threw him into solitary confinement. One time 
Debs found him swooning in blood. He picks him up and takes 
George over to the hospital ward, and he takes care of him. To-day 
that boy is like a lamb. He will obey any rules in the prison. He 
will do anything that is asked of him, because he has become a 
man, a human being. It is that spirit that prevails wherever Debs 
is, and I am sure that it is actually a crime to keep a man of that 
type behind iron bars. 

They themselves feel it much less than those people that know 
them. Debs will prefer any time to stay in jail and to see the 
younger man go out. That is his plea at all* times. He will say, 
“Never mind me. I can do my work right here just as well as in 
any other place." And that is Debs. To keep a man of that sort 
there is a crime. He is there now about 15 months; not too strong 
in health, and yet he will not receive or accept any privileges for 


26 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

himself, even with regard to food, because he will not permit that 
any of the other criminals, any of the other prisoners who are there, 
should feel that he is an exception and that he is treated better 
than they are; and he suffers with his stomach, suffers with his 
health, but will not accept an}^ privileges of any kind, even with 
regard to food. And to feel that there have been lies and accusa¬ 
tions against him, statements against him of trouble because he lias 
been against this country, it is hard to believe. I am absolutely 
sure it is not so, because there is not a country in the world that 
Debs loves more than the I nited States, and I am sure that a man 
of that kind has a right to express his opinion at all times, and 
particular^ now, when the war is over and that emergency is past, 
he surely ought to be released at once; and according to these 
names that I have, it seems that he is down on here under “D,” 
for consideration for release. 

You take it, there are four people in Atlanta, Ga., a fellow by the 
name of Lakanskey, and then there is a little girl, Mollie Steimer. 
These people are Austrians. Mollie Steimer is only 20 years old. 
They came over from Russia, and they had not been here very long, 
and when the Czar was overthrown and they felt that more or less 
their relatives, their parents and sisters, could not be safe there as they 
felt safe here, this little girl, Mollie Steimer, only 20 years old, not 
knowing whom to appeal to, whom to talk to, she only felt one thing, 
that her folks, her parents and her relatives, her sisters, were in 
danger, and they tried to appeal to different people to see whom they 
could appeal to, that there should be no intervention in Russia. 
They forgot everything except that their parents were over in Russia, 
and it is a feeling that you and I would be moved in the same manner. 
They distributed, as planned, a circular, and in that they asked that 
there should be no intervention in Russia, having in mind their old 
mother; thousands of those people having been murdered during the 
war. Now, they have received 20 years, and the other three young 
boys in Atlanta, Ga., received 15 years’ imprisonment. I am quite 
sure that if the committee would only make the investigation on 
these things and from the human point of view, feel that those dangers 
of the war are over, and that consideration for these people ought to 
be given-- 

Senator King. May I interrupt you ? My recollection of the 
Steimer case is very distinct, and I know it attracted a great deal of 
attention. It was charged, and I think the evidence conclusively 
established, that she was engaged in a very extensive propaganda for 
a considerable time, the propaganda being to overthrow the Govern¬ 
ment of the United States by violence and by force. She belonged to 
the Communist Party, and they were following the Third Interna¬ 
tional, and they had direct relations with Mr. Martens. 

Mrs. Robbins. May I answer just a couple of the questions of that, 
that I knew about it ? 

Senator King. Yes. 

Mrs. Robbins. You see, I do not know of the entire trial, but to 
show how extensive a propaganda movement she carried on or could 
carry on, there was this message to be circulated, and to show you 
how dangerous an animal she was, she tried to distribute the circulars 
on the street and found that people would not take them and did not 
pick them up or read them, and then she used to get up on the roof 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


27 


and distribute them from there, and the janitor drove her away from 
there several times because of the circulars being around, and he told 
her that if she did not stop that, because he did not want the cir¬ 
culars hung around on his roof, he would have her arrested. That 
shows how much influence she had. And as far as belonging to the 
Communist Party, I doubt it. 

Senator King. Of course the record will show. 

Mrs. Robbins. They were just mere children, that was the truth 
of the matter. 

Senator King. Does your plea extend to Mr. Haywood or the 

I. W. W. ? 

Mrs. Robbins. We have not selected any individuals at all. 

Senator King. Does it embrace them? 

Mrs. Robbins. I do not know. If they are in prison now because 
of the spoken or written word and not because of violence, they are 
supposed to be included in the case. 

Senator King. Suppose they advocated the overthrow of our 
Government by force and violence ? 

Mrs. Robbins. That depends on how that should be shown. If 
they organized for that, we are not for them. On the contrary, if 
they are imprisoned on account of the written or spoken word alone, 
if they have done that they are entitled to their freedom. We feel 
that it is time, anyway, that the millions of people who feel actually 
oppressed, and rebel against this wartime animosity—and that it 
finally ought to be done away with, and to have peace established at 
home first. 

Senator Sterling. Is not this to be taken into consideration, 
Mrs. Robbins? I can not help but admire the spirit of which you 
speak; but take the case of Mr. Debs, for example. Remember that 
the country was at war, and the life of the nation was in a very large 
sense at stake; and yet Mr. Debs was charged with and convicted of 
this offense “of causing and inciting and attempting to cause and incite 
insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, and refusal of duty in the 
military and naval forces of the United States, and with intent so to 
do delivered, to an assembly of people, a public speech, set forth.” 
This was at Canton, Ohio. 

Then a second count of the indictment on which he was convicted 
charges that he “obstructed and attempted to obstruct the recruit¬ 
ing and enlistment service of the United States and to that end and 
with that intent delivered the same speech, again set forth.” 

Those were the charges against Mr. Debs. He did not simply say 
he was opposed to the war, but he actively tried to prevent enlist¬ 
ment; actively tried to bring about insubordination. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes; but that was only from the point of view that 
he is opposed to any kind of violence, no matter where it is or what 
it is. That is the nature of Eugene V. Debs. You can not take that 
away from him. He will die, rather. 

Senator Sterling. Yes, that may be true; but how can a country 
allow a thing of that kind to go on in time of war, and as I say, 
when the nation’s life is at stake ? 

Mrs. Robbins. But it is now two years since the armistice was 
signed, and why should Debs be in jail still ? 

Senator France. Mr. Chairman, I hardly think that that is the 
view we should hold. 


28 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Senator Sterling. I am not expressing a view, I will say to 
Senator France, but I am calling attention to the other phase of the 
matter. 

Senator France. Mr. Chairman, I do not think it was ever contem¬ 
plated by the fathers that there should be a unanimous agreement by 
all the people of the United States on any policy. I think it was 
always contemplated that there would be and that there should be 
a minority, and the writings of the fathers very clearly show that. 
The writings of Hamilton, the writings of Jefferson, the writings of 
Adams, all clearly show that it was anticipated that there would be 
a minority and that the right of the majority to prevail implied the 
right of the minority to protest; not to the extent of disobeying the 
law, but to the extent of expressing freely and fearlessly the minority 
opinion. 

Senator Sterling. That is just the distinction, Senator France; 
that he resisted or opposed to the extent of violating the law. If it 
were simply opposition to the war, and he had expressed himself as 
opposed to this war, and that there was no just cause for going into 
the war, and had stopped there, possibly there would have been no 
prosecution, or we might have said that he was unjustly convicted; 
or, having been in prison as long as he has, since he did not go further 
than that, that it is now time that amnesty or pardon should be 
granted him. 

Mrs. Robbins. Well, whatever the case is, we do not feel now that 
they should prolong that or keep that man behind iron bars, and it is 
absolutely unfair and unjust, and the quicker they take steps toward 
releasing him the better it will be for the Government; the better 
faith we can have from our own people toward our own Government. 

Senator Sterling. I am simply pointing out, now, the actual 
charges made against Mr. Debs, and the charges on which he was 
convicted, and what I believe to be the gravity of the offense. 

Senator France. Mr. Chairman, I have not in mind, of course, all 
of the evidence in the Debs case, but I think that the evidence was all 
to the effect that Mr. Debs made the same kind of a speech on that 
particular occasion which he had made on many other occasions, and 
before the war, before the war ever was thought of, when he was a 
candidate for the presidency of the United States. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes. 

Senator France. But it was held that the mere delivery of that 
kind of a speech under those circumstances, and when eligibles under 
the draft law were present, constituted an active effort on his part to 
prevent enlistment. But I do not think that there was any evidence 
that he carried on any propaganda to prevent enlistment, other than 
the mere making of that speech, which was in line with his whole 
political philosophy. The charge against him was to the effect that 
the making of that speech at that time and under those circumstances, 
with eligibles under the draft law present, constituted a crime. I do 
not think there is any evidence that he carried on any other propa¬ 
ganda. 

Senator Sterling. The court in the case of U. S. v. Debs, which is 
reported in 249 United States, page 211, said as follows: 

The main theme of the speech was socialism, its growth, and a prophecy of its ulti¬ 
mate success. With that we have nothing to do, but if a part or the manifest intent of 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


29 


the more general utterances was to encourage those present to obstruct the recruiting 
service, and if in passages such encouragement was directly given, the immunity of the 
general theme may not be enough to protect the speech. The speaker began by saying 
that he had just returned from a visit to the workhouse in the neighborhood, where 
three of their most loyal comrades were paying the penalty for their devotion to the 
working class—these being Wagenknecht, Baker, ana Ruthenberg, who had been con¬ 
victed of aidingandabettinganotherin failirgtoregisterfcrthedraft. (Euthenbergv. 
United States, 245 U. S., 480.) He said that he had to be prudent and might not be 
able to say all that he thought, thus intimating to his hearers that they might infer that 
he meant more, but he did say that those persons were paying the penalty for standing 
erect and for seeking to pave the way to better conditions for all mankind. Later he 
added further eulogies and said that he was proud of them. 

Proud of those who had been convicted for aiding and abetting 
another in evading the draft! Proud of them! 

He then expressed opposition to Prussian militarism in a way that naturally might 
have been thought to be intended to include the mode of proceeding in the United 
States. 

Then further on the opinion says: 

The defendant spoke of other cases, and then, after dealing with Russia, said that 
the master class has always declared the war and the subject class has always fought 
the battles—that the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose, including 
their lives; that the working class, who furnish the corpses, have never yet had a 
voice in declaring war and have never yet had a voice in declaring peace. ‘‘You 
have your lives to lose; you certainly ought to have the right to declare war if you 
consider a war necessary.” The defendant next mentioned Rose Pastor Stokes, con¬ 
victed of attempting to cause insubordination and refusal of duty in the military 
forces of the United States and obstructing the recruiting service. He said that she 
went out to render her service to the cause in this day of crises, and they sent her 
to the penitentiary for 10 years; that she had said no more than the speaker had said 
that afternoon; that if she was guilty so was he, and that he would not be cowardly 
enough to plead his innocence; but that her message that opened the eyes of the 
people must be suppressed, and so, after a mock trial before a packed jury and a 
corporation tool on the bench, she was sent to the penitentiary for 10 years. 

Now, she had been convicted of attempting to cause insubordi¬ 
nation and refusal of duty, and he was praising her. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes; but she never served. 

Senator Sterling. That is immaterial. That is what she had 
been convicted of. Now, Mrs. Robbins, please excuse the interrup¬ 
tion. 

Mrs. Robbins. That is all right; I am very glad to get all the 
information I can, at all times. I would just like to get permission 
to read these copies into the record. I have only brought a few of 
these communications, and I do not intend to read all of these. We 
have over 30,000 letters and resolutions, copies of which were sent 
to President Wilson and to the Attorney General and to Secretary 
of War Baker, and to Senators and Congressmen. I just picked out 
a few in each large group of organizations, and I would like to have 
them read into the record. 

Senator Sterling. Do you care to read them now, or do you want 
to just leave them for printing in the record ? 

Mr. Robbins. I will just leave them; but I would like to read the 
titles. Here is a letter of Mr. Gompers to President Wilson asking 
for a proclamation of general amnesty for all political prisoners. 

Then here are the names of the entire delegation that were in 
conference with Mr. Palmer, giving the organizations that they 
represented, so that when you go over these cases you will have an 
idea of just who was there and who asked for it. 


30 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Then there are here just a few that I have brought along, of the 
letters and telegrams from international unions. Those were sent to 
President Wilson. 

Senator France. You can put all those in without reading them 
if you like. 

Senator Sterling. As I understood, Mrs. Robbins said she would 
like to call attention to the titles of these organizations, and I think 
it is proper that she should. 

Mrs. Robbins. These letters and telegrams are from the officers 
of these organizations. Letters from the following leaders of labor 
organizations, similar in purport to those I shall ask to be printed at 
length, were sent to Government officials:

Senator Sterling. Do j t ou desire all of those letters and telegrams 
to be printed in the record, or do you want just these names to go in ? 

Mrs. Robbins. You can just put in the names of the organizations 
and the officers who have signed them. I just brought along some 
of those from the central bodies, State and National. These letters 
were left with President Wilson. I would like some of those to go 
in the record. 

Senator Sterling. To be printed in the record, you mean ? 

Mrs. Robbins. If you can. 

Senator Sterling. Will you not select out a few that you think 
it would be desirable to have printed in the record ? 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes; just a few of these; that is all. 

Senator Sterling. Yes; if you can just pick out a few of those 
you want to go in. 

Mrs. Robbins. All right. 

(The letters and documents submitted for the record by Mrs. Rob¬ 
bins are here printed in full, as follows:) 

Indianapolis, Ind., October 22 , 1920. 

Hon. Woodrow Wilson, 

President United States , Washington, D. C.: 

In addition to the other labor men and men of public character throughout the 
country that have requested you to liberate all political prisoners, might I add my 
humble plea that in your wise judgment you consider seriously this request? It 
seems to me there is no further need of holding men in prison who committed offenses 
of a political nature against our Government during the war. With voice and pen 
I helped our Government, as much as any one man could help, to win the war. The 
general membership of our internaticnal union kept at work during all the days of the 
war. We did everything w T e could to help our Government and support you in that 
great struggle. As the representative of our membership. I now ask you to give con¬ 
sideration to the request made, that all political prisoners be liberated immediately. 

D. J. Tobin, 

Grand President International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs. 


Cincinnati, Ohio, October 13, 1920. 

Woodrow Wilson, 

President, White House, Washington, D. C.: 

Speaking for 400,000 railway clerks in the United States, I urge upon you procla¬ 
mation of amnesty for political prisoners now held in confinement in the various 
prisons of our great country. This is more than a perfunctory request; it represents 
our deep-seated convictions on this question. We do not boast of our loyalty and 
patriotism but stand upon our record of whole-hearted cooperation with an absolute 
support of the Government of the United States when such support meant most. 

Edward H. Fitzgerald, 

Grand President Brotherhood of Railivay and Steamship Clerics, 

Freight Handlers, Express, and Station Employees. 


Indianapolis, Ind., August 27, 1920. 


Mr. A. Mitchell Palmer, 

Attorney General, United States, Washington, D. C.: 

I join with President Gompers and Secretary Morrison in a request that general 
amnesty be extended to political prisoners. I am confident that such action would 
go a long way to allay much of the unrest and dissatisfaction prevailing among the 
jnasses of the Nation.

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Chicago, III., October 16, 1920. 

Hon. Woodrow Wilson, 

President United States of America, 

The White House, Washington, D. C. 

The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen, an organization of 100,000 
workers in the meat industry, went on record at a convention held at St. Louis, Mo., 
during July and August of this year to request of the Government general amnesty 
for all political prisoners whose offense was a violation of war legislation. Now that 
the war is over, we beseech you as the Chief Executive of the Nation to use your 
good offices in granting freedom to those who may have been at odds with us owing 
to their political views. 

Dennis Lane, Secretary. 


Utica, N. Y., October 14, 1920. 

Hon. Woodrow Wilson, 

President, Washington, D. C. 

New York State Federation of Labor, representing the organized workers of New 
York State, respectfully requgst that you give favorable consideration to the petition 
for general amnesty for political prisoners. 

Edward A. Bates, Secretary-Treasurer . 


Harrisburg, Pa., October 14, 1920. 

Woodrow Wilson, 

President, White House, Washington, D. C. 

Behalf of Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, respectfully urge you to proclaim 
amnesty for the political prisoners. 

C. L. Quinn, Secretary. 


Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, 

United States Attorney General, Washington, D. C. 

On behalf of the Chicago Federation of Labor and its affiliated organizations, repre¬ 
senting over 250,000 workers, we wish to join with President Gompers and Secretary 
Morrison of the American Federation of Labor in the request for a general amnesty for 
political prisoners and the repeal of war-time laws. 

Respectfully submitted. 

John Fitzpatrick, President. 

E. N. Nockels, Secretary. 


Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, 

United States Attorney General, Washington, D. C. 

Dear Sir: The Central Labor Union of Brooklyn was one of the first to make request 
for a general amnesty for political prisoners. We are anxious to have all war-time 
laws and war-time animosities wiped out. Therefore we urge upon you that after 
you receive our spokesman, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation 
of Labor, with his committee, upon the subject of amnesty for political prisoners, that 
you should recommend to our President to grant general amnesty. 

We remain, cordially, yours, 

J. P. Coughlin, President. 


Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, 

United States Attorney General, Washington, D. C. 

Dear Sir: I am instructed by the delegates in regular meeting assembled at the 
Central Federated Union to urge you that after you meet with President Gompers 
and his committee requesting general amnesty for political prisoners that you give 
that matter full consideration and recommend to the President our request. * 

With cordial greetings, 

Ernest Bohm, 

Recording Secretary Central Federated Union of New York.

Washington, D. C., October 15, 1920. 

Sir: The last annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, June, 1920, 
adopted resolutions that the President of the United States, the Attorney General, 
and the Secretary of War should be urged to grant amnesty to the political prisoners 
of the war with Germany and Austria. 

No doubt the Attorney General has advised you of the conference which I, together 
with a number of representatives of organized labor, recently had with him regard¬ 
ing the matter. 

The object of my addressing this communication to you now is to convey to you 
the earnest belief entertained by my associates and myself that if you should issue 
a proclamation granting amnesty to the political prisoners it would have a most 
beneficial effect upon a large part of our people, help to allay feelings that have been 
aroused, and, indeed, have a general tranquillizing effect. And in the event of the 
issuance of such a proclamation by you it would devolve upon the Department of 
Justice to scrutinize each case before the freedom of the political prisoner could be 
effected. 

May I express the hope that the matter as above submitted may commend itself 
to your favorable consideration and action? 

Yours, respectfully, 


Samuel Gompers, 

President American Federation of Labor , 

Hon. Woodrow Wilson, 

President of the United States, 

The white House, Washington, D. C.

FARMERS NATIONAL COUNCIL. 

We, the Farmers National Council in conference assembled, in Washington, D. 0. 
January, 1919, by duly elected delegates from leading national and State farmer* 
organizations, having a total membership of over three-quarters of a million, declare 
for general amnesty tor all political prisoners. 

In view of the fact that in order to provide food for the Army, the people, and the 
American Allies during the war the farmers of America had worked from early morning 
until night. The farmers bear no malice and no grudge toward those whose opinions 
differ from their own, and feel that no advantage is to be gained by keeping in prison 
men and women who were not guilty of any actual help to the enemy, and conscien¬ 
tious objectors who in the opinion of the farmers mistakenly construed or misunder¬ 
stood the purpose of the war to bring about economic and industrial injustice. 

We therefore most respectfully add our request to that of millions of other loyal 
American citizens that you grant a general amnesty to political prisoners including 
the conscientious objectors, as we have described them and commute the sentences 
or discharge the soldiers upon whom severe court-martial sentences have been imposed. 

George Hampton, 
President Farmers National Council.

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Washington, I). C., December 15, 1920. 

Woodrow Wilson, 

The White House: 

Your petitioners, the undersigned committee, representing the World War Vet¬ 
erans, an organization of those who served actively in the Army and Navy of the 
United States during the late w r ar in Europe, in pursuance of a resolution adopted 
last summer at our western divisional conference favoring the release from prison of 
all those persons convicted of violations of the espionage law and now serving sen¬ 
tence, most respectfully submit for consideration the following: 

That freedom of opinion is the cornerstone of American democracy, guaranteed 
under our Constitution, abrogated hitherto but seldom for brief periods under stress 
of what seemed supreme public necessity. 

That the present espionage law, as in the case of similar war laws of earlier periods, 
in many cases has been enforced arbitrarily and irresponsibly by officials unnerved 
under war tension, so securing scant justice to some individuals. . 

That even where the evidence fully warranted conviction under the law in question 
sentences frequently were harsh and justifiable only, if at all, as deterrents to those 
who might, by word or deed, do something to endanger the war morale thought neces¬ 
sary to maintain by those charged with the administration of the Government. 

That, finally, every imaginable danger, the effect of their expressions of opinion, 
is long past and continued confinement of political prisoners in time of peace must be 
purely punitive, a conception utterly abhorrent to the native American spirit of 
justice and fair play as it is repugnant to our more divine attribute of charity and 
foreign to every scientific formulation of humanitarian reform. 

Wherefore, speaking for our organization *of hundreds of thousands of those who 
saw their war duties differently, we most respectfully petition the President to exer¬ 
cise a clemency so fitted to the approaching Christmas season and proclaim a general 
amnesty for all those suffering in prison for the expressions of opinion which, erro¬ 
neous though they may have been, have, it seems to us, been fully expiated. 

Carl Calvin, 

Capt. George Melton,

[Memorial to Presidenc presented by deputhtion from citizens' amnesty committees at White House. 

Apr. 19,11 a. m.] 

To the President, 

The White House , Washington, D. C. 

Sir : In view of the power vested in your high office to proclaim amnesty for political 
offenses committed in time of war, we, the undersigned citizens representing, as 
we believe, the sober sense of the Nation, present this memorial in behalf of the men 
and women imprisoned or under indictment for expressing opinions (as distinguished 
from those convicted fo overt acts) deemed inimical to the Republic during our late 
war with the Imperial German and Austria Governments and their allies. 

We find that your distinguished predecessors, Presidents Washington, John Adams, 
Madison, Lincoln, Johnson, and Grant, have not hesitated to exercise the sovereign 
power of amnesty, including within its scope even those found guilty of treason against 
the United States, with restoration of all rights, privileges, and immunities under the 
Constitution, and the laws made in pursuance thereof. 

Especially during the Civil War, and after it ended, the Presidents of the United 
States by proclamations, at first limited and conditioned, but later broad and unquali¬ 
fied, established sound precedents through acts of grace which relieved those on whom 
they were bestowed from the punishment which the law inflicts for political offenses. 

We find that even within the first quarter of a century after the formation of this 
Government, the President in three separate instances granted general pardons. In 
the first of these instances President Washington, on the 10th July, 1794, in respect to 
persons who participated in the “whisky insurrection” in Pennsylvania, granted a 
full, free, and entire pardon of treasons, misprisons of treason, and other indictable 
offenses against the United States. Again, on the 21st May. 1800, President John 
Adams proclaimed a general pardon to all persons engaged in the so-called house- 
tax insurrection in Pennsylvania in 1798, and in February, 1815, President Madison 
proclaimed a general pardon to certain persons known as the “Barataria pirates.” 

we find that when President Lincoln issued his first proclamation of amnesty on 
December 8, 1863, he invoked no special law but the power to grant reprieves and 
pardons conferred by the Constitution of the United States. 



AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


35 


Therefore, and in view, also, of the clear opinion of those legal authorities who have 
discussed this subject, that the constitutional grant to the President was intended to con¬ 
vey the largest power implied in the word “pardon”, we the more confidential petition 
you to follow this unbroken series of American precedents in proclaiming amnesty to 
the imprisoned men and women who did not oppose this Nation at war by force and 
arms or by overt act, but who expressed only by written or spoken word opinions 
which would have been deemed harmless during ordinary times but were judged 
dangerous to the public safety only while this Nation was opposed by powerful enemy 
peoples, or who refused because of conscience to obey the commands of military 
authorities. 

In presenting this petition, moreover, we are further assured by the temper of your 
utterances as Chief Executive, especially your declaration upon our entry into the 
late war that we were pledged to “conduct our operations as belligerents without 
passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair 
play we profess to be fighting for.” 

Since the armistice of November 11, 1918, a year and a half has elapsed, during 
which the Governments of the chief belligerent nations have granted amnesty to 
prisoners held for political and other crimes. Our own prisoners convicted for expres¬ 
sions of opinion still languish in jail, while the public danger that prompted the 
imposition of penalties upon such offenders is long past. 

In regard to the policy of severity which may still be advocated in certain quarters, 
we conclude by citing the words of M. Clemenceau in his speech before the French 
Chamber of Deputies on May 17, 1876, urging amnesty for those who participated in 
the Commune of 1871. M. Clemenceau said: “The necessity of punishment ceases 
with its utility * * * it is ‘the necessity of punishment that saves a State.’ I f 
we (who govern') are wise and able, we shall know when we have punished enough; if 
we are not, we shall never consider that we have punished enough * * *. It is 
not only by repression that subversive elements are brought to reason. The develop¬ 
ment of social justice will be more potent against the malcontent than the most pitiless 
punishment.” 

It is for these reasons that we respectfully urge the act of amnesty and of mercy that 
lies within your power.

women’s trade-union league. 


Hon. Woodrow Wilson, 

President United States of America, 

Washington, D. C. 

Dear Sir: 

Whereas the signing of the peace treaty finds in American civil and military prisons, 
or under bail pending trial or appeal, large numbers of men and women whose 
offense or alleged offense is of a political nature; and 
Whereas the sole justification for such prosecution and imprisonment, that of war¬ 
time necessity, no longer exists; 

Whereas in all democratic countries of Europe which have been associated with us 
in the prosecution of the war full amnesty has been granted to the political, indus¬ 
trial, and religious war opponents; Be it 

Resolved , That it is the sense of the Women’s Trade-Union League, with an affiliated 
membership of 75,000 to 80,000 working women, that the further prosecution and 
imprisonment in the United States of a body of political offenders is contrary to the 
democratic idealism and the traditions of freedom to which our country is commit¬ 
ted: and be it further 

Resolved, That we accordingly urge upon the President of the United States, upon 
the Attorney General of the United States, the Secretary of W T ar, and the president of 
the American Federation of Labor, with all earnestness at our command the necessity 
of granting an immediate amnesty to all prisoners whose religious, political, or econo¬ 
mic beliefs formed the basis of their prosecution, trial, and imprisonment. 



36 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLLTICAL, PRISONERS. 

STATEMENT OF MR. JOHN P. SULLIVAN. 

Senator Sterling. Will you state your name and whom you 
represent. 

Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Chairman, I do not want to detain you very 
long. I am president of the Central Trades and Labor Council of 
New York; vice president of the New York State Federation; mem¬ 
ber of the general executive board of the Brewery, Cereal, and Flour 
Organization; and treasurer of the central labor bodies conference 
of the amnesty committee of the American Federation of Labor, of 
which Mrs. Robbins is the executive secretary. 

I am here to ask you gentlemen for a favorable recommendation on 
Senator France’s resolution along the lines agreed upon between him 
and President Gompers. 

I want to say that during the war I gave all my time to the United 
States Government. I was chairman of one of the draft boards, 
division 15c, in New York City; and I also, in the year 1918, organ¬ 
ized one of the greatest demonstrations that ever took place in the 
city of New York, what was known as labor’s loyalty parade, and I 
had the honor of being grand marshal of that parade; and these very 
same people here who participated in that parade sent me here in 
advocacy of the cause of amnesty and pardon for these prisoners. 

Now, I want to say that during my experience as chairman of the 
draft board there were some men who evaded the draft law through 
mere sheer dread, fright; not intentionally. There were others, of 
course, who were deliberate. But I believe there should be a little 
judgment and leniency used in the case of men like several who came 
before me, shivering, shaking, fearing, cowardly, you might say. 
There were quite a number of those in my experience. Then there 
were a number of others who did it intentionally, and I would not be 
very much in favor of those who intentionally evaded service to the 
country. 

Senator King. If you know, you know there are a large number 
who not only deliberately evaded the draft and sought refuge in 
Canada and Mexico, particularly in Mexico, but are there now, cow¬ 
ardly, skulking in that country because they are afraid to come home. 
Speaking for myself, I have nothing but supreme contempt for that 
class of men. So far as I am concerned, I would never consent to an 
abatement of prosecution of men of that character. 

Mr. Sullivan. I have not much sympathy with them either, 
because my sons were there; and one of them was too young, but I 
had the Army put him in class A, over my own signature, and if the 
war had continued he would have been there long before this; so that 
you can see where I stand. That is my position. But there are some, 
Senator, who through sheer cowardice and fear evaded it. 

Senator Sterling. That is, they did not intend to be disloyal, but 
it was through fear ? 

Mr. Sullivan. Yes, sir; it was through fear. 

Senator Sterling. But this resolution is wholesale. It pertains 
to all so-called political prisoners, and makes no exceptions whatever. 

Mr. Sullivan. Yes. Well, in order to answer your question, I 
am of the same opinion as the agreement reached between yourself 
and Mr. Gompers. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 37 

Senator King. Perhaps you were not here, Senator, when I asked 
Mr. Gompers whether the resolution of the American Federation of 
Labor, which he caused to be read to the committee, embraced those 
who were slackers and escaped from the United States and evaded 
in that way, and he said that he was not sure whether it embraced 
those, and indeed he doubted it, and he did not favor any amnesty 
being extended to them, if I interpreted his remarks correctly. 

Senator Sterling. You can see the difficulty of making an excep¬ 
tion, under the circumstances. 

Mr. Sullivan. Yes, sir. 

Senator Sterling. If we pass any resolution at all. 

Mr. Sullivan. Well, there are quite a number. Of course, you 
will agree that some are confined, possibly through no fault of their 
own, many of them having offended through ignorance, and more 
through fear, as I said. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. Now, I would like to ask this: What is 
the peculiar interest of the Federation of Labor in this, over and 
above that of citizens generally? 

Mr. Sullivan. Because we believe that the war is over, and that 
the United States of America should be no less tolerant than our 
allies in the war. They have all liberated their political prisoners. 

Senator Sterling. You are certain of that, are you, that all of 
them have been ? 

Mr. Sullivan. I am so informed. I do not know as to its cor¬ 
rectness, but I believe it is correct. 

Senator Sterling. How about Canada ? Do you understand that 
Canada has passed an amnesty act ? 

Mr. Sullivan. That I do not know, Senator. My time is very 
largely taken up in labor affairs. I am frank to tell you that I did 
not give this any particular study, as to what was going on. 

Senator France. Mr. Sullivan is correct in his observation. I 
myself am not informed about Canada, but the European countries 
have passed such acts. 

Senator King. I do not think, Senator, if you will pardon me, that 
any of the European countries have extended amnesty to any of 
those who were guilty of what is denominated treason, and overt acts 
against the Government. 

Senator France. But the American Federation of Labor is not 
asking for that. 

Senator King. No; I understand. 

Senator France. There is a very grave distinction made here. 

Senator Sterling. Who is your next witness? 

Mrs. Bobbins. I would like to ask one question. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. 

Mrs. Robbins. Being out a great deal and meeting not only 
thousands but millions of workers and representatives and members 
of organizations generally, I know there is a feeling generally, although 
I do not know of any specific cases where that applies--but there is 
a feeling and understanding throughout the country—on the ques¬ 
tion of those draft evaders, as to what is going to be done about it. 
Will Congress or the Department of Justice or the President make 
any definite statement of what is going to be done with them if 
they surrender ? There is a feeling that there are thousands of 
crooks being made out of perfectly good men because they have to 


38 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

live under assumed names. They are in hiding. They can not 
work at a place permanently because they are asked who they are 
and where they come from. 

There are parents who have come to our office, old women and old 
men, sick; they have not anyone to make a living for them; their 
only boy or two have run away. They would like to have them 
surrender—the boys. I do not know where they are; but they 
come to us, knowing that we are working on a request for amnesty, 
and they appeal to us to know what they shall do, and what punish¬ 
ment their boys would receive, in order that they should come 
back, and they could be looked after. They do not know where 
these boys are or what they do. 

Senator Sterling. You are referring now to those who have 
never been apprehended or prosecuted ? 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes; and there are something like 100,000; and 
something ought to be done about it and some statement ought to 
be given out as to what is going to be done about it, because I be¬ 
lieve that many of the crime waves and other things being done 
are being done by men who are perfectly good and had a good char¬ 
acter, but in the environment they are living in, always in hiding, 
it changes them almost entirely; and we surely do not want that 
our Government should be the cause of such things; and something 
ought to be planned and figured to help these men out; and if not 
promptly, they are- 

Senator King. You may have observed the fact that in many 
instances where draft evaders have surrendered to the military 
authorities and have explained the conditions, they have been 
treated in a very lenient manner. Of course some who deliberately 
evaded the draft and fled to other countries, and do not come 
within the category referred to by Mr. Sullivan, have been dealt 
with a little more severely. 

Mrs. Robbins. Yes. 

Senator King. But I think that the disposition of the War De¬ 
partment is to deal with each specific case upon its merits, and it 
seems to me that is the only way to deal with them. A case of the 
character that Mr. Sullivan has spoken of ought to be dealt with in 
a very generous and humane way. 

Mrs. Robbins. Ye s 

Senator King. But as for those who deliberately violated the draft 
and had no excuse for it, but who were rather inimical and hostile to 
our own country, and who fled; speaking for myself, I think they 
ought to be punished. 1 do not see how this committee and how 
Congress could make any general recommendation and pass any 
general statute dealing with those cases. 

Mrs. Robbins. 1 do not know anything about it; only as I was 
here I thought I would speak of it. 

Senator King. Supposing the matter were left to you and the 
whole responsibility rested upon you to pass upon these cases, keeping 
in mind the fact that there were millions of brave boys who did go 
and did their duty and that those same brave boys are not now in 
favor of the whitewashing of those who escaped and ran away like 
cowards, what would you do? 

Mrs. Robbins. I could only answer you as 1 answered Attorney 
General Palmer, that I am not in a position to tell what I would do 



AMNESTY AND PARDON EOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


39 


if I was the officer in that position; hut I do think that something 
ought to be done to stop that. It is two years since, and we are not 
making good citizens out of tho n e men. This country is not gaining 
anything by it, and if from the War Department they would make a 
statement what the punishment would he—these men do not know; 
they do not know whether they will be lenient with them or not—if 
they would know just what it is, if they would give them a chance 
to come back, don’t you see, give them a chance to surrender and do 
something for themselves- 

Senator Sterling. Is there not something in the force of example 
and are we not to look to the end a little ? And now if the Govern¬ 
ment condones t le^e offenses, serious as they were during the war, 
will there not be the temptation at some future time ? Suppose we 
get into war again, will not the evaders and conscientious objectors 
and men of that kind find a precedent for leniency on the part of the 
Government ? 

Mrs. Robbins. , The way I feel about it is that by the release of 
conscientious objectors, as many as I have talked to, I do not think 
you will make less loyal citizens of them by showing them consid¬ 
eration, in spite of everything, than by punching them. I believe 
that through the better acts you always get the best there is in a 
person. I believe that with an appeal to the conscience of the person 
we can do a whole lot more than by showing that we are just as 
strict in our punr hment as they are in refu 1 ing to obey. 

Senator Sterling. One reason for punishment is that the punish¬ 
ment may be a deterrent and prevent future offenses of the same 
kind. 

Mrs. Robbins. Well, that may hold true, Senator Sterling; but I 
do hope that something will be done, whichever way you think is 
possible, to work that out through the War Department or through 
anybody else, in order to help that along. 

Senator Sterling. We are glad to have heard you, Mrs. Robbins. 

Senator King. Is there anybody else to be heard? 

Senator France. Rev. Levi Powers. 

STATEMENT OF REV. L. N. POWERS. 

Mr. Powers. I can not answer your question concerning Canada, 
but I noticed something that happened in Canada recently. In 
one of the Provinces there was an election of 41 people, and the one 
that led the poll was one of the political prisoners, and the third on 
the poll was a political prisoner who had been released. 

Senator Sterling. Had he been released under a general amnesty 
act? 

Mr. Powers. I do not knowv I could not answer that question. 

Now, what I have to say is so entirely obvious, it seems to me, 
that I would not venture to say anything if I had not read a little 
while ago that a distinguished Member of the Senate had said that 
he made no distinction between criminals; that all criminals looked 
alike to him. Now, he is not a legal mind, and perhaps he may not 
have been quite correctly reported, but I think it must be apparent 
to everyone who thinks about these matters at all that there are 
two classes, very different, who are necessarily criminals. 


40 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Law is simply the expression of the temporary ideas of what is 
right and wrong, expedient or necessary. Now, those who fall 
behind and lag behind, the antisocial, the real criminal type, of 
course must be punished to be held up to a decent standard. On 
the other hand, those who trouble us because they are a little in 
advance, who are antisocial because they think they see things 
that are right that we do not, also have to be punished, in self-pro¬ 
tection. I do not find any fault with the requirements of society; 
it is probably as necessary as the law of gravitation. But I some¬ 
times think "that we almost owe a debt of gratitude to the people 
who break the laws and who go almost to the point of preaching 
anarchy. 

Senator Sterling. You would hardly say that the law ought to 
be broken or violated. 

Mr. Powers. I think all the advance of society is due to the fact 
that there are some people who are ready to pay the penalty of 
making a protest against things that ought not to be. 

Senator Sterling. Let us obey the law while it is law, and seek 
its repeal if it is an injustice. 

Senator King. I am afraid your attitude will induce our boot¬ 
legging friends to continue their operations. 

Mr. Powers. I will not argue that matter of law, but I think 
from what you have said that we are pretty closely agreed that 
there is a difference. 

Now, I am not so greatly interested in these men who are in prison, 
although I do feel that we have to recognize that the man who 
stands for his principle is always a man that counts. The people 
that shout with the mob in a loud voice are only shouting, and they 
disappear. The only thing we can give to the world is what we are. 
Our wealth and the position we occupy are accidental; but our 
bearing witness to the things that are deepest in us is our contribu¬ 
tion to the world. I think more of those persons because they did. 
They are not of the ordinary type. I recognize the necessity that 
society was under during the stress of war, but that is past. Any 
further punishment, it seems to me, is not deterrent; it is simply vin¬ 
dictive, and that is something that the nation ought not to lend itself 
to, because, as has already been said, the other Governments have 
long ago released their prisoners, and they are supposed to be less 
responsive to the popular will than ours. Thank you. 

Senator King. May I make one inquiry? In your generalization 
did you mean to include those who deliberately evaded the draft 
and fled our country ? 

Mr. Powers. Well, I should say that I have no wisdom to give 
on that point any more than has already been given. I do think 
there is a lot in what- has been said in regard to the fact that whether 
or not it is the punishment that they fear that is keeping them out 
of the country, it is making bad citizens. I think there is much in 
that. 

Senator Ktng. Did jmu intend to include within your statement 
those persons who advocated the overthrow and destruction of this 
Government by force and violence; who were not satisfied by merely 
registering their opposition to war and preaching pacificaism, but 
actively advocated force and viobnee and the blowing up of munition 
plants and railroads, and such as that, and practicing sabotage f 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


41 


Mr. Powers. I say I have no sympathy with that sort of thing. 
But I think that as the matter was brought before the courts, with 
the intensity of feeling that existed at that time, many people were 
accused of that and convicted and punished who were not really 
guilty of that. 

Senator Ktng. But supposing that that was not the case, and that 
some are guilty, and that some belong to an organization that not 
only in war hut’ also in peace preaches the destruction of this Govern¬ 
ment by violence, and preaches sabotage and the destruction of prop¬ 
erty bv violence, etc., would you release those? 

Mr. Powers. I think the distinction is clearly recognized between 
those and the political prisoners that are contemplated under this 
act. My plea is simply for the political prisoners. 

Senator France. The distinction is quite carefully made. 

Senator Sterling. Who is next? Is this all, Senator France? 

Senator France. Mrs. Helen Hoy Greeley, of the New York City 
bar. 

STATEMENT OF MRS. HELEN HOY GREELEY. 

Mrs. Greeley. I have come as an American who is interested in 
the attitude of these persons to our country. 

I am not able to answer such questions as Senator Walsh asked 
about the numbers involved; I am not familiar with large numbers; 
but I have a rather intimate connection with a case under the es¬ 
pionage act, about which I think, from the questions you, sir, asked 
of Mrs. Robbins, you may be interested to hear a little bit. 

The person who became my client after her case had gone to the 
Supreme Court of the United States, and after her conviction and 
sentence to imprisonment of three years and a fine of $500 was 
obtained, and a writ of certiorari refused, appealed to me, since I was 
here in Washington a good deal of the time, for help in securing a 
pardon, and I interested myself, without fee, in that case; and for 
four months I studied the case, and produced a brief which went to 
the Department of Justice and was practically a retrial of the case 
in the Department of Justice. The counts on which this client was 
convicted were the same, practically, as those under which Eugene 
Debs was convicted, and which the chairman read here; and yet the 
analysis that I made of that case showed that, far from having com¬ 
mitted any of the crimes upon which she was really convicted, she 
had not even said the things which she w&s charged to have said. 
I was able to prove to the satisfaction of the men in the pardon 
department of the Department of Justice that there was at least very 
grave doubt as to her utterance of the things with which she had been 
charged. 

Senator King. She ought not to have been convicted, then? 

Mrs. Greeley. She ought not to have been convicted. 

Senator King. It must have been beyond all reasonable doubt. 
If there was a shadow of a reasonable doubt, it was wrong to have 
convicted her. 

Mrs. Greeley. I believe that it was; but I believe that her case 
is typical; I will not say of all of the cases of convictions under this 
act, but of a very large number. I feel that our juries were swayed, 
as they thought by justice and by patriotic considerations, but in 


42 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


reality by a feeling that was inevitable. I believe that passions were 
very high, and that discrimination was at a low ebb, and that in the 
temper of the times injustices were quite possible. 

Senator King. Madam, do you not think that, considering all the 
facts and all the circumstances, and the magnitude of this country 
and the great population, the marvel is that there were so few ar¬ 
rested ? 

Mrs. Greeley. No- 

Senator King (continuing). Because my recollection is that the 
aggregate number of those prosecuted under what is called the 
espionage bill was less than 500. Now, I may be in error, but that 
information has been conveyed to me. 

Mrs. Greeley. I am not sure about that number, but I can not 
agree with the Senator altogether. I feel that we went from one 
extreme to the other in our public temper, and that we did a very 
great many things that 100 years from now we shall be really very 
much ashamed of—our children and our grandchildren will be—and 
I feel that a conviction such as this is a blot, really, on our legal 
processes. I believe it was quite impossible for the Supreme Court, 
under the extensions that were taken and the appeals, to go back of 
what appeared to be the records, and I believe that the Supreme 
Court could really not have done otherwise on the exceptions being 
taken than to deny the petition for the writ of certiorari. 

Senator King. That came before the Circuit Court of Appeals 
for review ? 

Mrs. Greeley. Yes. 

Senator King. Which court was that? What district was it in? 

Mrs. Greeley. It was an Oregon case, and it was before the Court 
of Appeals in San Francisco. 

Senator King. I would like to have the name, if you will permit 
me. I want to look into the opinions. 

Mrs. Greeley. I will be glad to give you a copy of this brief, if 
you like. [Handing brief to Senator King.l 

Senator King. That is very kind of you. 

Mrs. Greeley. It came up to the Supreme Court of the United 
States on a writ of certiorari. 

Senator Sterling. And the petition was denied ? 

Mrs. Greeley. And the petition was denied; so that the only 
remedy was an application for pardon. 

I was informed quite inadvertently, I am sure, by the Department 
of Justice, that the application for full pardon was granted and was 
sent up to the Attorney General in September with a recommendation 
for a full pardon, on the strength of that brief. The Attorney Gen¬ 
eral, however, had been very much impressed in the case by two 
groups of persons concerned, and a telegram was sent from a high 
official here in Washington to a public man in New York, from whom 
I learned this, that because a concession had to be made to a certain 
opinion in the West, the full pardon was not goin<* to be granted, but 
a commutation only; so that, although a full pardon in this case was 
recommended, as I was informed inadvertently by the clerk in the 
Department of Justice who did not know me and who I think had 
no business to give me the information, the sentence was not remitted 
in full, and a pardon granted, but my client received a commutation 



AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


43 


from three years to one year and a day, which the Attorney General 
himself informed me entitled her to be released at the end of the four 
months if she behaved while in prison. 

So that in this case my client was brought to trial a few days after 
the signing of the armistice, the sentence being pronounced on New 
Year’s eve after the armistice, my client having been kept out of 
prison throughout the time of the appeal and throughout all of the 
time during which I was working for her pardon, a stay of execution 
having been granted by the President; that lasted from the 1st of 
February of this year until the 16th day of October, and my client 
was on that day apprehended and taken into custody and taken to 
San Quentin, where she is now in prison and must stay for at least 
four months; and her release at the end of the four months, which 
will expire in February, is not certain, but it will depend upon whether 
the department sees fit to put her on parole. 

Now that is a case which may be or may not be typical of large 
numbers. This woman is a physician of Portland, who is known 
to have befriended countless numbers of the poor. Her practice 
is largely among them. She is a professional woman, but she is the 
only person outside of the labor organizations that labor itself has 
rallied to the support of, and the unions, federated labor, and the 
Industrial Workers of the World together contributed to her support, 
so dear had she been to the labor people of the whole Northwest. 

Senator Sterling. What is her nationality, may I ask ? 

Mrs. Greeley. Her father was an Italian, and her mother was an 
Irish woman; and she is of a temperament that is not of a balanced 
kind—I mean the judicial temperament that was able to preserve 
its calm during the war and keep out of difficulties. I was interested 
in the reference made to the Steimer case. 

Senator King. Pardon me, but about this, was it your contention, 
and was it her contention, that she did not utter the sentiments 
attributed to her? 

Mrs. Greeley. Yes; the statements are garbled statements, as is 
clearly shown. 

Senator King. Was it your contention that if she had uttered the 
statements changed in the indictment as set out in hac verba, that it 
would not constitute an offense? 

M' s. Greeley. I did not make any such contention, and I am not 
making any such contention. Under the law you could not, of course, 
hold otherwise. 

Senator Sterling. Were the statements made in a public speech? 

Mrs. Greeley. Yes; they wc v e made in a public speech; and these 
statements were reported by two men who we^e quite unqualified 
for the assignment and work that was involved. 

Senator Sterling. Where was the speech made? 

M s. Greeley. In Portland, Oreg.; and it was exactly like speeches 
that she had been making for seven years; and she had been listened 
to frequently; she had been reported; but nothing that she had ever 
said had been considered actionable. 

Senator King. May I inquire about this, whether she conceded 
that she marched at the head of a procession and carried- 

Mis. Greeley. Now, may I say that I do not wish, Mr. Senator, 
to go into that at this particular moment? That particular point is 


44 AMNESTY AND PARDON EOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

not relevant at this hearing, and if you will read the brief a little 
further you r self- 

Senator King. I thought you were extenuating her acts and said 
that she was not guilty of the offense with which she was charged; 
but if she did those things, I differ from you. 

Mrs. Greeley. You see, the court did convict her; and you have 
to make a careful analysis of all of the facts before you can get back 
of the trial, and the court conviction, especially one that has 
gone through the United States Supreme Court. The only thing I 
wish to say right here is that I would not dream of going into any 
detail about this case if, as I said to you in the first place, the pardon 
department of the Department of Justice, on the strength of the 
analysis, had not recommended pardon; do you see? That is the 
only justification for my mentioning the case at all. 

Senator King. Has she been pardoned? 

Mrs. Greeley. No; she has not been pardoned. As I . say, the 
pardon was refused because of the feeling that there had to be a 
concession made to the feeling in the West—do you see? But 
there w r as a case of conviction after the armistice, in which the client 
does not go to prison until nearly two years after the armistice was 
declared. 

Senator Sterling. And you say she did not go to prison because 
of the stays granted to her from time to time ? 

Mrs. Greeley. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. On your application ? 

Mrs. Greeley. Yes. The effect is only cumulative. The occa¬ 
sion for the proscribed act has ceased, and you can not deter any 
longer from the commission of a proscribed act after its possibility 
has ceased. Since the purpose of this section of the act was only 
deterrent and not essentially punitive, as many of our penal laws are, 
it does seem to me that that particular section covering this particu¬ 
lar kind of an offense ought to be interpreted differently now that 
the temper of the people is changing. We are not vindictive as we 
were. Those passions have subsided, and mercy and tolerance have 
been slowly rekindling, I think, in the sentiments of men; and at this 
particular time when our thought turns to the birth of the spiritual 
idea which ought to dominate, it seems to me that it is peculiarly a 
season for mercy on the part of those who have authority. 

Senator King. Do you recall the volume of the reports of the Cir¬ 
cuit Court of Appeals where I can get that case ? 

Mrs. Greeley. I have not the reference to it, but I will be very 
glad to give it to you. 1 have a copy r of the decision of the Circuit 
Court. 

Senator King. I can find it in the Library, here. 

STATEMENT OF ME. BENJAMIN C. MARSH, SECRETARY AND 

DIRECTOR OF LEGISLATION OF THE FARMERS’ NATIONAL 

COUNCIL. 

Senator Sterling. Please state your name. 

Mr. Marsh. Benjamin C. Marsh. I am secretary and director of 
legislation of the Farmers' National Council, with headquarters in 
the Bliss Building. 



amnp:sty and pardon for political prisoners. 


45 


Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, in November— 
armistice November—1918, representatives of leading farm organ¬ 
izations met here in Washington and drafted a tentative program 
for economic reconstruction and international reconstruction. 

In January of 1919, two months after the armistice was signed, 
there was a delegates’ reconstruction conference here which adopted 
a program in which the following was included: 

We declare for general amnesty for all political prisoners. 

I am sure, Mr. Chairman, that you will appreciate that these 
farmer representatives were not in any way sentimental or disloyal, 
when I tell you that one of the representatives of your own State, 
South Dakota, was Hon. Mark T. Bates, whom you know of in your 
State ? 

Senator Sterling. I know of him, yes; very well. 

Mr. Marsh. A man who may be regarded as a radical, but who is a 
bona fide farmer, and who, as you know, has the confidence and 
respect of the farmers, and who has done a great deal for farmers. 

They urged it and we urge it now, not on sentimental grounds, by 
any manner of means. I wish that all of the members of the com¬ 
mittee could have been here in this connection. 

The American people, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, realize that 
the poor man who opposed the war was punished, but that Congress 
in its infinite wisdom let the profiteers get off practically scot-free, 
created millionaires and multimillionaires; that there were men in 
the Shipping Board and in the Railroad Administration doing more 
to defeat the orderly progress of the war—those rich men—than any 
man in jail to-day, as we understand it, and it is a question where we 
want a little uniform justice. 

The Attorney General has not yet put behind the bars, if I am cor¬ 
rectly informed, a single wealthy would-be sabotager during the war. 

Senator Sterling. Do you think he entered into agreements not 
to prosecute ? 

Mr. Marsh. Yes; he entered into agreements not to prosecute, in 
the court decrees. 

Now, this is not sentimental. If you are going to send those rich 
men who sabotaged, who tried to make money and blocked the 
operation of the railroads which was essential to winning the war—if 
you are going to send them to jail, I personally can not lift my voice 
about these other political prisoners. But this un-American, wicked 
discrimination against the other Americans is a thing that galls and 
stings the American citizenship, and they want to know who owns 
this Government, and why is the Congress disloyal to the boys that 
helped to win the war. 

Senator Sterling. I want to say that you are quite extreme in 
some of these statements, and that you assume a great deal when 
you make the charge that you do in regard to the Government and 
its toleration of offenses committed by what you term the rich people. 

Mr. Marsh. Why, Mr. Chairman, you folks even forgot to tax 
yourselves; until you were reminded, you forgot it. 

Senator Sterling. Now, I want to deny that right here, so far as 
that is concerned. If you have anything to say concerning this par¬ 
ticular bill, I would like to have you say it; but we can not spend time 
in going over the record of Congress during the war. 



46 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Mr. Marsh. I think it bears directly on this resolution. 

The Chairman. I know all about what you are alluding to when 
you say we forgot to tax ourselves until we were reminded of it; 
but you are mistaken, because it was the understanding, I know, of 
the Senate, that both Senators and Congressmen were taxed on their 
salaries. 

Mr. Marsh. My wife and I, working hard, WTote, and I went before 
a committee, urging that we be taxed double the rate we were taxed 
during the war, and we certainly do not want to exonerate anybody 
who was responsible for attempting to defeat us in the war; but it is 
a question of equality of treatment, it seems to us, that is involved in 
this resolution, and we hope very much that you will vote for it; and 
I think it is the overwhelming sentiment of the people who sacrificed 
during the war. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. You said the representative on your 
council from South Dakota was Mr. Bates ? 

Mr. Marsh. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. You know, of course, what his political career 
has been during the last four years ? 

Mr. Marsh. I know that it has been fighting the predatory interests 
on behalf of the people. 

Senator Sterling. You know on what ticket he has run? 

Mr. Marsh. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. I just want that to go in the record here, since 
you have mentioned that yourself. 

Mr. Marsh. Yes; I will be glad to. 

He has run on the ticket that has scared the predatory interests 
more than all the acts of Congress or anything else, the Nonpartisan 
League. 

Senator Sterling. Yes; that is what I wanted to know; the Non¬ 
partisan League. 

Mr. Marsh. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

STATEMENT OF MR. MARVIN GATES SPERRY, NATIONAL PRESI¬ 
DENT OF THE PRIVATE SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ LEGION, 

NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS 810 F STREET NW., WASHING¬ 
TON, D. C. 

Senator Sterling. The legion you represent is different from the 
American Legion ? 

Mr. Sperry. Yes, sir; different. We are strictly privates. We do 
not take any officers in our organization that held a commission. 

Senator France. I will say for President Sperry that he volun¬ 
teered as a soldier in the war, although he would not have been 
subject to the draft. He went to France and fought bravely in the 
defense of his country, so bravely that he was decorated by the 
British Government for gallantry in action under fire. 

Mr. Sperry. That is very kind of you to say that, Senator. 

Mr. Chairman and Senators of the committee, I am sure I voice 
the sentiments of all the members of the Private Soldiers’ and Sailors’ 
Legion and all the hosts of their friends when I say we most earnestly 
hope and wish for the freeing of the political prisoners without further 
delay, and I most heartily join in the support of the broad and humane 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 47 

bill of that great-hearted friend of humanity, Senator France of 
Maryland. 

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, and 
we think that they could extend an act of generosity and mercy to 
the political prisoners on this Christmas. I thank the committee. 

Senator Sterling. That is all you have to say ? 

Mr. Sperry. Yes, sir. 

Senator Sterling. Are there any others to be heard, Senator 
France ? If there are no other witnesses to be heard, the committee 
will stand adjourned to meet again on the call of the chairman. 

Senator France. Mr. Chairman, before we adjourn—I may not 
have an opportunity of saying this to the committee another time— 
I would be very glad to have this resolution amended by the com¬ 
mittee any way it sees fit as long as there is the principle involved 
in it. 

Senator Sterling. We can consider that in executive session, 
Senator France. 

(Thereupon, at 1.30 o’clock p. m., the subcommittee adjourned, 
subject to the call of the chairman.) 



AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1921. 

United States Senate, 
Subcommittee of the 
Committee on the Judiciary, 

’ Washington , D. C. 

The subcommittee met, pursuant to the call of the chairman, at 
10.30 o’clock a. m., Senator Thomas Sterling presiding. 

Present: Senators Sterling (chairman) and Walsh of Montana. 

Also present: Mr. Algernon Lee, Hon. Jacob Panken, and Miss 
Frances Witherspoon, all of New York City, appearing for the Socialist 
Party of America. 

Senator Sterling. This is a continuation of the hearing on S. J. 
Res. 171, providing for the recommendation of amnesty and pardon 
for political prisoners in the United States. 

This particular hearing is at the request of representatives of the 
Socialist Party. Are there any persons present who desire to make 
statements ? 

Mr. Lee. Yes. 

STATEMENT OF MR. ALGERNON LEE, OF NEW YORK CITY. 

Senator Sterling. Please give your name, residence, and occupa¬ 
tion. 

Mr. Lee. Algernon Lee, New York City, teacher. Appearing with 
me are Judge Jacob Panken, of the city of New York, and Miss 
Frances Witherspoon, of the city of New York, appearing for the 
national executive committee of the Socialist Party. 

1 appreciate the opportunity of appearing before this committee in 
support of S. J. Res. 171, to lay before you the reasons why in our 
judgment this resolution should be acted upon and passed. 

I desire to say, in the first place, Mr. Chairman, that we appear in 
the fullest sense for the resolution as a whole, not only for any 
members of the Socialist Party or otherwise who may be suffering 
under conviction under the espionage act or any other war-time act 
or subject to prosecution under those acts, but for all of those who 
are characterized as political prisoners, which would include very 
many who are not Socialists. 

The nature of the cases in question is defined in the resolution 
itself, where the political prisoners are described as persons whose 
alleged offenses are of a political nature, consisting only of opinions 
expressed, in words spoken or written, etc. 

I' It would perhaps be impossible to state the exact number of per¬ 
sons who are at the present time serving sentences of this nature or 
who have been convicted and are at present out on bond pending 

49

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


appeal in their cases, and the number of those who have been in¬ 
dicted, against whom proceedings have been begun and who have 
not been brought to trial, or their trials not completed. The number, 
however, would certainly run up to several hundred. About 400 or 
500 of them have been convicted, and probably there are something 
like 300 whose cases are now pending. 

The sentences pronounced in cases which involve only expres¬ 
sions of opinion, criticisms of governmental policies, have in many 
cases been extremely severe, amounting to 2 years, 3 years, 5 
years, and not infrequently 10 years, and in certain cases even 20 
years’ imprisonment, accompanied by heavy fines. From all the in¬ 
formation that it has been possible for us to obtain, these sentences 
are in general heavier than those which have been imposed under 
laws more or less similar and for a similar character of offenses in the 
various countries of western Europe, such as the United Kingdom, 
Belgium, and Italy. I should say they are far more severe than the 
sentences which have been imposed in Great Britain, where in general 
the sentences under the defense of the realm act were for three 
months, six months, or a year—very rarely more. 

There is a feeling which I believe to be justified by observation of 
the facts that in the whole execution of the espionage law and of the 
other special wartime acts, more particularly the espionage law, that 
which has come to the front has not been the allegation of any overt 
act, or adhering to the enemies of the United States, or any inclination 
on the part of those accused to sympathize with the Imperial German 
Government or with the other Governments with which the United 
States was at war. In the cases to which we here refer, at any rate 
in a very large proportion of these cases, that which came to the front 
in the trial was the social economic opinions expressed by the men 
who were accused. The evidence and the argument Turned very 
largely, not upon any claim or suspicion that any of these men, from 
Eugene V. Debs down to the most obscure, was in any way desirous 
of aiding the Imperial German Government. Such a suspicion in 
these cases would have been too ridiculous to entertain for a moment; 
but what was brought very strongly to the front in the trials them¬ 
selves and also in the public discussion, in news columns and the 
editorial columns of the newspapers, which exercised a very great 
influence upon public opinion, and through the general influence upon 
public opinion must have exercised a ver}^ great influence upon the 
verdicts that were rendered, by creating a certain tone or atmos¬ 
phere—I say in all those discussions what came to the front was the 
fact that these were men who are dissatisfied with the existing social 
economic order in the United States, and in other countries as well, 
who are and had been advocating, long before the war, very far- 
reaching changes in our social economic order, involving no doubt in 
certain cases changes in political institutions or methods to corre¬ 
spond to those economic changes. It is this that gives a very peculiar 
character to these cases, distinguishing them from those "in which 
there was allegation and proof satisfactory to the jury and the court 
that the persons accused were acting in the service of the Imperial 
German Government or of some other enemy of the United States. 

Mr. Chairman, let me say that in a sense the very concept of political 
offenses and political prisoners is a new idea in the United States. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 51 

Within the last four years we have become regrettably familiar with it, 
but up to that time in the history of this country we have had very 
little to call our attention to the fact of political offenses as distin¬ 
guished from ordinary crimes. It is a well-established distinction in 
Europe, and my friend, Judge Panken, will perhaps add some words 
bringing out that point more clearly. 

Senator Sterling. Mr. Lee, 1 want to ask you this one question: 
Suppose the party accused under the espionage law, for example, had 
not indicated any sympathy for the German Government or the cause 
of the German Government in this war, had never said, for example, 
that he hoped the German cause would triumph, and yet did some¬ 
thing or said something to discourage enlistments in the Army of the 
United States when we were at war. Would not that aid the German 
Government ? 

Mr. Lee. Mr. Chairman, of course it is not my purpose here to 
attempt to argue the individual cases, to take up the question of 
whether this or that man was lawfully and justly convicted under 
the law, any more than it is my intention to take up for instance the 
question of the constitutionality of the law. Those are questions 
that belong to the courts. I believe the resolution is before you for 
consideration rather as a matter of public policy, and it is upon the 
general grounds of public policy that I would desire to argue it. 

Senator Sterling. That is what I rather insisted on at a former 
hearing, to those who were talking about the constitutionality of the 
espionage act, etc. 

Mr. Lee. I suppose that is not in question here. 

vSenator Sterling. I thought that was hardly the question here, 
and that the main question was one of policy. 

Mr. Lee. Public policy. 

Senator Sterling. Wise Government policy or expediency. 

Mr. Lee. In direct response to the question which you addressed 
to me, Mr. Chairman, I suppose it would be impossible to make any 
general answer better than this, that at any rate in a very large 
number of those cases to which I have paid such attention as it was 
possible for me to pay, there was a very long logical process between 
the alleged or admitted words of the defendant and the conclusion 
that the utterance of those words might perhaps have influenced 
some person not to enlist, or that might possibly have influenced some 
person not to register for the draft. This is very forcibly brought out 
in a case with which I was closely connected, the case against Scott 
Nearing, and against the American Socialist Society in the city of 
New York. In that case Scott Nearing had written and the American 
Socialist Society had published a certain pamphlet discussing the war, 
discussing the causes as Mr. Nearing understood and believed them 
to be, and the probable consequences of the war, in which case it was 
alleged that this pamphlet was written and published with the intent 
to interfere with recruiting, obstructing the recruiting service of the 
United States, discouraging enlistments, etc. The very curious result 
of that case was the acquittal of Mr. Nearing who wrote the pamphlet, 
who frankly avowed its authorship, and the conviction of the society 
which published the same pamphlet. 

I think such cases as that very well illustrate the far from close 
connection between the expression in that pamphlet of the opinion, 


52 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

which, by the way, President Wilson later expressed in public, that 
this war as well as most other wars grew out of and was the result 
of commercial and business rivalry between capitalists of different 
countries. The opinion was expressed in that pamphlet that this 
war, like other wars, would give opportunity for profiteering and 
perhaps for profiteering on a greater scale than had ever been accom¬ 
plished in the past, a conclusion which I am inclined to think most 
people now believe to be quite well justified by the facts. There was 
an economic social discussion of war in general and of this war in 
particular. I say I think the connection between that and the 
conclusion that somebody reading that pamphlet might be influenced 
not to enlist, when otherwise he would have enlisted, was at least not 
a very close connection. 

I understand perfectly well that the argument for all such legisla¬ 
tion is that when the Nation is involved in war, any criticism of the 
policies of the Government is that any expression of disapproval of 
the decision of the Government to dac? vr. war, any advocacy by 
persons not speaking for the Government an earlier conclusion of 
the war, may very well be conjectured to have an influence upon some 
men’s minds against enlistment, against complying with the con¬ 
scription act, against other support of the war policies of the Govern¬ 
ment. The point I desire to emphasize is that legislation of this 
character is highly dangerous to that which is most fundamental in 
all that we have been glad of and proud of in American history. 

We have had wars before this. We have had at least one war which 
was for the United States more disastrous, more costly in life, more 
prolonged, more dangerous to the existence of the Nation; a civil 
war which, for some time, seemed very definitely and dangerously to 
threaten the existence of the Nation. Yet not even in the time of 
that war did we have legislation going by any means as far as that 
which we have had within these last three years or a little more. 
Nor did we have prosecutions as numerous, not did we have sentences 
approaching in severity the sentences of the present time. Further¬ 
more, the prosecutions and the convictions and sentences in the time 
of the Civil War were principally for overt acts of communication 
with the armed enemies of the United States, giving them actual aid 
and comfort, or, at the least, were for advocating their cause and 
definitely giving them moral aid and comfort within the Northern 
States. I do not know of a single prosecution in connection with that 
great Civil War in which the burden of the accusation was that the 
man who was on trial was an enemy of the existing order of society, 
that he was attacking existing institutions of property, that he was 
advocating a radically new social economic system, and that he was 
advocating proposed changes in the form and structure of the Govern¬ 
ment of the United States. I do not know of a single case among those 
which grew out of that much more disastrous war, where opinions 
upon social economic questions, or the expression of opinions with 
regard to the causes of the war, or the expression of criticism of the 
policies of the Government, either its political policies in dealing 
with secession or its militaiy policies in conducting the war—I do not 
know of one case where such criticism was treated as an offense 
against the laws of the United States.

From the beginning of this country we have been proud and glad 
that we have had a Government by free discussion. At least I am 
sure that it is true of everyone whose fortune it was to be born in 
this country, or to have his opinions formed by American sentiment, 
that he has been trained to feel that it was a particularly happy 
thing that the institutions of this country were such as to favor the 
free expression of opinions; not only of those opinions which the 
Government for the time being deemed to be right and true opinions, 
but equally the expression of those opinions which were deemed to 
be false and erroneous; that it was only through the freedom of ex¬ 
pression for all kinds of opinion that the truth is to be arrived at; 
that it is only through such freedom of expression that an intelligent 
public opinion is to be formed and developed; that it is only through 
such opportunities for the utmost freedom of expression that a public 
opinion is created which cultivates in the minds of the people a con¬ 
fidence that wrongs can be righted, that abuses can be done away 
with, that institutions and laws can be changed to meet new needs 
through peaceful, orderly, lawful methods. And on the whole I be¬ 
lieve the history of the United States has justified that institution. 

Now, until the present war there have been only two notable ex¬ 
ceptions. There was one at the end of the eighteenth century, when 
during the administration of John Adams the party in power enacted 
legislation not unlike that of the last four years, although perhaps 
not quite so drastic. 

Senator Sterling. I would disagree with you there if you say that 
the legislation enacted during the Adams administration was not so 
drastic as the espionage act. The act passed during the Adams ad¬ 
ministration prevented, or could easily be construed to prevent, crit- 
cisms of the President, or criticisms of Congress, and so forth. 

Mr. Lee. I think it was false and malicious criticism. 

Senator Sterling. Yes; I think you are right in saying that. 

Mr. Lee. It was quite a material qualification; beside which the 
penalties provided in the alien and sedition acts did not in general 
approach in severity those which have been imposed under the es¬ 
pionage act. 

Senator Sterling. Let me read section 3 of the espionage act, 
under which these prosecutions have been carried on: 

Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false 
reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operations or success of the 
military or naval forces of the United States, or to promote the success of its enemies, 
and whoever when the United States is at war shall willfully cause or attempt to cause 
insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty in the military of naval forces 
of the United States, or shall willfully obstruct the recruiting or enlistment service 
of the United States, to the injury of the service of the United States, shall be pun¬ 
ished—• 

And so forth. 

Mr. Lee. Yes; I am quite familiar with that. My reference to the 
u false and malicious’’ in the sedition act of the Adams administra¬ 
tion was to show that those words occur in both acts. The general 
nature of that is very closely similar. 

Senator Sterling. That act related to time of peace as well as to 
time of war. It did not make any discrimination. 

Mr. Lee. Nevertheless it was enacted as a war measure in con¬ 
nection with the state of war which actually existed with France, 


54 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


and in anticipation of a formal declaration of war with France, and 
was justified by the Adams administration on the ground that the 
criticisms which the anti-Federalists or Democrats were making of 
the American Government were giving aid and comfort to the 
French Government with which we were actually at war. The 
sentences which were imposed, and which were not finally served 
under that act, did not approach in severity a large number of the 
sentences that have been imposed under the espionage act. 

Under the espionage act there have been after all some astonishing 
cases. I have in mind the case of William Powell, of Lansing, Mich., 
who, in private conversation in the home of a relative, expressed his 
opinion that certain published reports about German atrocities were 
untrue; that those stories were to some extent war propaganda. He 
expressed his own dissatisfaction with the policy of the United States 
and his lack of confidence in the President. He expressed the opinion 
that this was a rich man’s war. This is the substance of the acts 
that were charged against him, for which he was convicted, sentenced 
to pay a fine of $5,000, and to serve 20 years in prison. He paid his 
fine and went to prison. His prison term was very materially 
reduced. 

Senator Sterling. Is he yet in prison ? 

Mr. Lee. No; he is not in prison. His sentence, which was 
obviously an atrocious sentence, was reduced and he is now out of 
prison. 

Senator Sterling. Do you recall how long he actually served ? 

Mr. Lee. I think it was approximately two years, which I con¬ 
sider in itself a pretty high, and I should be tempted to say an 
atrocious, sentence for such an offense. 

Senator Sterling. Was he pardoned? 

Mr. Lee. The sentence was commuted, and I believe at the time 
it was commuted the term to which it was commuted had been 
served. 

I have in mind the case of a certain Robert Goldstein, of Los 
Angeles, whose offense was the production of a motion-picture play, 
entitled “The Spirit of ’76.” This play depicted or purported to 
depict certain events in the history of the American Revolution as 
that history and as those events have been described in books of 
American history and in textbooks which were actually used when 
I went to school. Among other things British officers were depicted 
upon the film as committing atrocities, committing massacres, shoot¬ 
ing civilians, shooting women. The court held that the effect and 
purpose of the presentation of such a film was to incite hatred against 
English soldiers, that the film “tended to arouse our revenge, and to 
make us question the good faith of our ally, Great Britain, and to 
make us a little bit slack in our loyalty to Great Britain in the war.” 

I am quoting the words of the court. Goldstein was sentenced to 
pay a fine of $5,000, and to 10 years in prison. By Executive 
clemency his term of imprisonment was reduced to three years. 

Senator Sterling. Where was this trial and conviction? 

Mr. Lee. In Los Angeles, Calif. The case is no doubt a somewhat 
extreme one, and yet I think very many to match it could be produced. 

In a very considerable number of the cases the matter fell under 
two heads, one a discussion of the cause of the war, an exposition of 


AMNESTY AND PAEDON FOR POLITtCAL PRISONERS. 


55 


the theory that this war and other wars grow out of a certain eco¬ 
nomic system, what we call the profit-making capitalist system, and 
setting forth the proposition that so long as this system exists it will 
tend to breed war, and that the end of war must come through a 
fundamental change in this economic system, and so forth; and on 
the other hand, the developing of certain of the consequences of 
war, both its human consequences in deaths and cripples, and so 
forth, and its consequences in giving the opportunity, which oppor¬ 
tunity does not fail to be used, for the making of gigantic fortunes 
through profiteering of every sort. These two things have taken a 
leading part in far the greater number of these cases with which we 
are concerned. 

Now to return. Of course I do not need to remind you, or any one 
skilled in American history, that the American people very definitely 
rejected the policy of the Adams administration, and that the Demo¬ 
cratic Party had its birth in that rejection of the sedition and alien 
laws; that President Jefferson immediately pardoned all who were in 
prison at that time under those laws, and that he caused the discon¬ 
tinuance of prosecutions in all cases where prosecutions had been 
begun under them, and that Congress subsequently passed acts 
refunding the fines which had been paid under those laws. From 
that time down until the time of the Civil W ar I think it may be said 
that in this country there was no such thing as prosecution under the 
laws of the United States for the expiession of opinion, for the criti¬ 
cism of policies of government, whether in time of peace or in time of 
war, either in the time of the second war with England or in the time 
of the Mexican War. We did have our political cases in the time of 
the Civil War, but as I remarked a moment ago those were prosecu¬ 
tions, not for expressions of opinion, not for criticism of Government 
policies, but prosecutions for the giving of actual aid and comfort to 
an armed enemy within the territory of the United States. And 
e?en so, as soon as the Civdl War was at an end, amnesty was granted 
to all with the exception of a very small number of leaders of the armed 
rebellion who were prosecuted, and none of whom served anything 
like the length of the sentences that have been imposed under the 
present act. 

Considering the question as one of public policy, I wish to urge 
that the committee report favorably upon this resolution, and I 
hope that the resolution will be acted upon and passed; because it 
seems to me to be a very vital thing that we should avoid the errors 
of various countries of the Old World, that we should keep to the his¬ 
toric track of American history from which we have only once or 
twice to a certain extent deviated, the track which appears to be a 
wise and safe one, of giving the utmost freedom of expression to 
mistaken opinions as well as to correct ones, to false opinions as well 
as to true ones, trusting that truth will be able to prevail if there is 
free opportunity for its expression. 

I do not think that the experience of those countries of Europe 
from whose history the policy of the alien and sedition act of 120 
years ago, and the policy of the espionage and other similar acts 
of the last four years have been drawn, and wdiere the precedents 
were found for legislation of this sort—I do not think the history of 
those countries and the result of such policies have been such as to 


56 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

encourage us to insist on their imitation with the hope of securing 
wise government, orderly social progress, the enjoyment of liberty, 
and the prizing of liberty among the people. 

Senator Sterling. Just this one question, Mr. Lee. Suppose it is 
the expression of an opinion, but it is made under such circumstances 
and at such a time that the effect of that expression is to obstruct 
the enlistment or recruiting of the Army, the Nation being at war at 
the time. 

Mr. Lee. My answer, which is again based on American history as 
well as on general considerations, is that we can much more safely for 
the public interest take the chance that occasionally an individual 
might, through the expression of such an opinion, be deterred from en¬ 
listing, or even be influenced not to comply with the draft act or with 
some other law—we can much more safely take that chance than to 
take the certainty of a suppression of discussion or the bringing about 
of a one-sided discussion, or giving the opportunity not only for 
suppressing such opinions as do definitely lead to any violation of 
the law, but for the suppression of unpopular opinion in general. 
We got through the War of 1812, although in the War of 1812 there 
was, in various parts of the country, and particularly in New England 
and the North, very open, bitter, insistent opposition to that war, 
very determined and severe criticism of the policy of the Government 
in connection with that war. We got through the War with Mexico 
without any great disaster from a military point of view as a result of 
any criticism having prevented enlistment or otherwise interfered 
with the conduct of the war, although very many public men at 
that time, including such men as Charles Sumner, James Russell 
Lowell, and Abraham Lincoln, during the period of the war, publicly 
and very emphatically condemned the policy of the Government in 
beginning and conducting the war, going so far as to urge that it 
was a slaveholders war, that the purpose of the war was to strengthen 
the slaveholding class and to increase the area of slavery, going so 
far as to accuse President Polk of having taken action which was in 
effect an invasion of Mexican territory for the purpose of precipitating 
a war. 

I do not say that that accusation was correct, but I say that the 
accusation was made, and in effect made by no less a man than Abraham 
Lincoln; and I think it was much better for the United States that 
Lincoln and Lowell and Sumner were free to speak their minds 
than that they should be muzzled, lest perchance some one might 
be influenced by their speaking their minds, not to enlist, or might 
be influenced in any other way. 

Senator Sterling. It is not the expression of an opinion before 
the war. 

Mr. Lee. No; I am speaking of expressions of opinion during 
the war. 

Senator Sterling. It is the expression of opinion during the war, 
granting that they were the expressions which you represent. 

Mr. Lee. Yes; absolutely. 

Senator Sterling. But as I say, it is at a time and under such 
circumstances that the expression of the opinion will have the 
natural and logical effect of preventing enlistment, and perhaps at 
such a time that the liberties of the Nation and the very life of the 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


57 


Nation are at stake. Do you not regard it as a very serious question 
as to whether a man should be allowed freely to express his opinion 
under those circumstances and conditions ? 

Mr. Lee. My answer is that I do not. In the years 1813 and 
1814 this Government was at war with Great Britain, and at one 
time the land territory of the United States was invaded, and this 
very city of Washington was invaded by British troops. During 
that period Daniel Webster very emphatically condemned the con¬ 
duct of the Government in declaring war, and very emphatically 
advocated the speediest possible ending of the war and declared, 
“For us/ 7 meaning himself and those who agreed with him, “we will 
not voluntarily give one cent to the support of the war. We will not 
in any way of our own act help in conducting this war. Taxes 
which are imposed upon us we will pay punctually. Although there 
are some who go further and may refuse payment of taxes, we will 
pay the taxes. If we are duly called upon to give our services, we 
will give them to the exact extent which the law requires.” I 
am quoting him from memory, but that is substantially his state¬ 
ment. Now I should say that such utterances as that were very 
definitely intended to influence other men not to volunteer, not to 
lend money to the Government, and not to do one thing more than 
the letter of the law required of them. 

Senator Sterling. I think you are going a little too far when you 
say that the words were intended to prevent enlistment. 

Mr. Lee. I do not think that Daniel Webster would have made 
any concealment of his intent. From my reading of Webster’s life 
and of his speeches I do not think he would have made any conceal¬ 
ment of his intent, but at any rate it was intent in the sense in which 
intent is determined. In these prosecutions intent is determined, not 
by the statement of the defendant as to what his intent was, but by 
the judgment of the jury and the court as to what he ought to have 
considered would be the probable effect of his utterances. He is 
then supposed to intend the probable effect of his utterances, but I 
think that in the case of Daniel Webster he would have definitely 
said it was his intent to influence others to take the same line that he 
did; and what I said of the utterances of Sumner and Lowell and 
Lincoln and many others equally prominent, during the period of the 
Mexican War, holds equally good. Whatever their intent in their 
own minds may have been, they were utterances such as under the 
present law would assuredly, if we may judge from the hundreds of 
cases that have taken place, have been adjudged to be of such a 
nature as to lead to obstructing the recruiting service, and so on, and 
so forth, and it would have been held that they should have antici¬ 
pated that result, and that they intended that consequence. 

Now, I was answering the Senator’s question, and I hope I may 
practically close here, unless there be other questions. I say I 
consider that it is the great glory of the United States and the great 
good fortune of the American people up to this time that even in 
time of war with England and war with Mexico, and the Civil War 
which was threatening the very life of the nation, this nation was 
strong enough in its conception of liberty, this Nation had enough 
confidence in itself, to maintain freedom of speech. Even though it 


58 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


might take some chance of evil, it avoided a very much greater one 
by maintaining that liberty. 

To-day, Mr. Chairman, the war is over in every practical sense. 
Legally it is not over, I understand, although the President himself 
more than two years ago used the expression “Thus the war comes 
to an end.” In every ordinary sense of the word, from the point of 
view of any justification that can be urged for legislation against the 
expression of opinion, against criticism of the Government, and so 
forth, from every such point of view the war is over and has been over 
for more than two years. Men are still serving, and have years of 
penal servitude hanging over them. Men are still under sentence 
and appealing. Men are still under indictment and likely to be 
brought to trial under these laws. 

The principal countries of Europe, countries with which this 
Government was associated in conducting the war, have long ago 
begun and have by this time almost completely if not finally com¬ 
pleted the process of amnesty. Italy, Belgium, France, and Great 
Britain, almost as soon and in some cases as soon as the actual hos¬ 
tilities came to an end, proceeded to stop those prosecutions and to 
liberate those who had been sentenced under them. Those countries 
enforced these laws less drastically than the United States has 
enforced them, and from our point of view the reason for those 
prosecutions has passed away, and we believe it is time to stop the 
prosecutions and to liberate those who have been sentenced under 
these laws. 

I am sorry—and I speak for the whole socialist movement in say¬ 
ing I am sorry that the United States has ever taken this leaf of re¬ 
pressive legislation out of the book of Europe. I hope that at any 
rate now, at the time when those nations of Europe are turning in 
the other direction, are granting amnesty, are coming back to fuller 
freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of expression in general, 
the United States will not longer lag behind them. 

Senator Sterling. Mr. Lee, let me ask you a question right there. 

Mr. Lee. Certainly. 

Senator Sterling. Do you criticize section 3 of Title I of the 
espionage act? Do you not think that describes conduct or lan¬ 
guage that should not be permitted during time of war? I call youi 
attention again to the very wording of the act: 

Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false 
reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of 
the military or naval forces of the United States. 

Should not that be made an offense ? 

Mr. Lee. Of course, it depends on what is meant by the word 
“intent” there. The courts have held, and I think as a matter of law 
held properly, that the intent is not to be judged by the defendant’s 
own consciousness; that it does not matter what he consciously intended 
or did if the things which he said probably would cause an obstruc¬ 
tion of the recruiting service. It has been held that it was not neces¬ 
sary to prove in a single case that any person refrained from enlisting, 
or refrained from buying Liberty- bonds, or* failed to register, or in 
anv other way was influenced by the utterances. 

Senator Sterling. Of course, in interpreting this language I sup¬ 
pose the courts would adhere to the principle that a man is presumed 
to intend the probable consequences of his act. 


AMNESTY ANI) PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


59 


Mr. Lee. That is my point. 

Senator Sterling. Certainly. 

Mr. Lee. What it means is not the intent of the person in tlie- 
ordinary sense, but the intent in a legal sense. 

Senator Sterling. Now, a jury or a court may have gone to an 
extreme in their interpretation of the law. But what do vou sav as 
to the law itself ? 

Mr. Lee. I am not speaking of individual cases. I am speaking 
of the law itself in those two respects. In the first place, there is the 
expression “false reports” and “false statements,” and so on. 

Senator Sterling. Certainly. 

Mr. Lee. The statement may be a statement that a state of war 
gives the opportunity for landlords, manufacturers, mine owners, 
contractors, etc., to profiteer, to get extortionate profits at the ex¬ 
pense of the public interest. Now, that is a statement which has 
oeen made, and it has been held that such statements as that made 
in time of war may probably, mav naturally, lead to the obstruction 
of the recruiting service, etc., and the court and the jury are to con¬ 
sider whether that general statement is true and whether it might 
lead to such an effect. 

Senator Sterling. Yes. 

Mr. Lee. I am not speaking of individual cases where the court 
and jury may have gone too far. I am speaking of the general admin¬ 
istration of these laws. The law therefore itself does very effectively 
prohibit and penalize the utterance of such a statement as that. 

Senator Sterling. The statement must be false. The report must 
be false. 

Mr. Lee. But the jury are the judge of its falsity. 

Senator Sterling. It must be false. Of course the jury must de¬ 
termine that like any other question of fact. They must determine 
whether it is false or not. It must be made with tne intent to inter¬ 
fere with the operation or success of the recruiting service, and it 
must be a willful act. The accused is safeguarded by all those things. 

Mr. Lee. The jury judges whether or not it is true that war gives 
an opportunity for profiteering; and if the jury in a particular case 
is of the opinion that war does not give the opportunity for profiteer¬ 
ing, then the statement becomes, in the meaning of the law, a false 
statement. 

Senator Sterling. I think you suppose there a rather extreme 
case. 

Mr. Lee. Not at all. I am supposing a case which has happened. 
Or again the statement—and this is just the statement made by Debs 
and others, in one set of words or another—that this war, like other 
wars, was the result of the capitalist system, was the result of the 
private control of the production and exchange of wealth, and was 
the result of commercial rivalry between the business interests of 
different nations; and the making of such a statement as that has 
been held within the meaning of this section to be the willful making 
of a false statement with intent to obstruct the recruiting service, etc. 

Now my answer to your question, therefore, Mr. Chairman, is that 
in my opinion and in my judgement such a law as that is not justified, 
if for no other reason because it involves an injury to the public 
interest in the way of the expression of opinion, because these are 


60 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOK POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


among the statements that have been held unlawful, and that is a 
suppression of the freedom of speech which is far more disastrous 
than any result which has not only been definitely proved in any case, 
but which has even been seriously alleged in any case in the way of 
interfering with enlistment and recruiting. 

However, Mr. Chairman, the question before us after all is not 
whether this law ought to have been passed in 1917. I and my 
friends here and those whom we represent have a very definite opin¬ 
ion upon that act, which I believe it may have been very seriously 
unlawful for us to express, and which it may be unlawful for us to 
express at the present time; but the question before your committee 
is not the question of whether it was wise and right to enact those 
laws in 1917. The question immediately before your committee is, 
Will the interest of the people of the United States be better served 
by holding in prison for another 5, 10, or 20 years in some cases, men 
and women whose offense did consist in the expression of opinions, or 
will the interest of the people of the United States be better served, 
now that the war is over, by wiping out those sentences, by the stop¬ 
ping of such further prosecutions, by the releasing of those men and 
by restoring the legal freedom of opinion ? 

Senator Sterling. I think you are right in stating that that is the 
question rather than that the law itself should be repealed. I think 
you are right in that. 

Mr. Lee. I think I have taken more time than I should have taken. 
I am sorry if I have trespassed upon the time of the committee, but 
I should be glad if the opportunity could be given to the other mem¬ 
bers of the delegation to add what they may wish to say. 

STATEMENT OF MISS FRANCES WITHERSPOON, OF NEW 

YORK CITY. 

Miss Witherspoon. Mr. Chairman, I am not here to add anything 
to the facts regarding the cases of the four or five hundred men and 
women who are still in jail to-day, more than two years after the 
practical cessation of the war, nor to add anything to the argument 
ior their release. That has been done by one of my colleagues here, 
and will be completed by the other gentleman. 

I am not here to make any appeal for mercy for these men and 
women. They are strong in the conviction that they were right in 
what they did apparently, and there is no appeal for clemency 
coming from them. 

I agree with you entirely that it is a question of policy, of what is 
the best thing for the country to do, and as soon as you yourself grant 
that point, I think it is of some concern to the members of this com¬ 
mittee possibly to try to mirror to you how this whole thing strikes 
a person of my mind. 

I am not a European agitator. I am an American, with a long line 
of American-born ancestry. Here in the city of Washington there 
is a statue of an old Scotch, dominie, John Witherspoon, who was 
called from the kirk of Scotland to the first presidency of Princeton 
University. He was not content, like some gentlemen, to stay in 
academic halls, but he answered to the revolutionery spirit of his 
country. He was a member of the Continental Congress. I am 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 61 

proud to say that my family name is among the 44 signers of the 
Declaration of Independence. 

Then I may say how this whole thing strikes me. 

Senator Sterling. Miss Witherspoon, 1 do not think you have 
stated your present place of residence. 

Miss Witherspoon. I am southern horn, but am at present a 
resident of the city of New York. 

Senator Sterling. And what is your vocation ? 

Miss WiTiierspoon. Secretary. 

Senator Sterling. Of what? 

Miss Witherspoon. Right now for a committee of the Socialist 
Party. My father was a member of the Sixty-third and Sixty-lourth 
Congresses from the State of Mississippi, and was elected to the Sixty- 
fifth Congress, and died during his term. 

Mr. Chairman, it seems to me that the thing we have always 
encouraged in America is thought, and not only thought but social 
thought. We have always given our meed of praise and respect to 
the men and women who tried to speak out in a better way for human 
beings, to make this a better world for human beings to live in. I 
wonder if it ever occurred to you gentlemen here that you were sent 
to Washington for precisely the same thing that these 400 men and 
women were sent to jail for, because you showed some capacity and 
some tendency to want to think out a better regime, a better world 
for people to live in? These people have done precisely the same 
thing, and I believe have been actuated by motives just as high as 
yours. The only difference was that you had a big majority of men 
and women acquiescing in your kind of thought, while they had a 
very small and humble minority acquiescing in their ideas. You 
landed in different places. Some landed in Washington and some 
landed in jail. 

Senator Sterling. Suppose, however, instead of being in the 
minority, they had been in the majority. What might have hap¬ 
pened so far as American freedom and resistance to Germany is 
concerned ? 

Miss Witherspoon. I think that question answers itself. 

Senator Sterling. Do you think there would have been no war? 
Is that your idea? 

Miss Witherspoon. That might have been. I am not sure. 

Senator Sterling. We would not have resisted German aggres¬ 
sion, however cruel it was and however far reaching it was, and what¬ 
ever it meant to America and to American liberty. We would not 
have done that. 

Miss Witherspoon. We might have found some other way out of 
the difficulty. But that is going pretty far afield. I think I ought 
to make the point that it has always been the American way to 
discuss things, to bring together the best thought of the times, and 
to let the truth come out after free and full discussion; and we social¬ 
ists have the feeling, if you do not continue to fulfill that American 
policy, if that traditional policy of this country is not preserved—some 
of usTeel—that we do not know just how we are going to work out the 
future of this country. I for one am a firm believer in the political 
method. I wanted the vote for myself and I wanted it for other 
women. I want the enfranchisement of all disfranchised classes, 


62 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

negroes and others, because I think the only way in which we can 
settle our big problems is by allowing all the people not only to think, 
but to think publicly, in writing and in speech. 

Now there is one thing I should like to say. It seems to me there 
is a feeling in your mind that on the whole we are appealing for the 
release of people whose acts you and others may construe as having 
in some way been detrimental to the prosecution of the war. I 
think that is really an error. We feel that these people are kept in 
prison at this time, two years after the armistice, not because of any¬ 
thing that they did which might have tended to hinder the successful 
prosecution of the war. Most of these people continue to be kept in 
prison because of their social, political, and economic views. Some 
of these people have been prosecuted for offenses committed long 
after the war was over, and for offenses which had nothing whatever 
to do with the war. I want to cite one case, that just on its bare 
face seems to me one of the most extreme things that ever occurred. 
That is the prosecution of three men from Syracuse, N. Y., who, two 
years after the armistice, circulated handbills, not relating to the war 
or the causes of the war or its prosecution or in any way touching 
the war, but circulated at a mass meeting circulars asking for the 
release of political prisoners. These men and women were doing 
precisely the same thing in a public hall that we in this room are 
doing to-day. 

Senator Sterling. You say they were prosecuted ? 

Miss Witherspoon. They were prosecuted and convicted last 
Januar}^ under the espionage act, and their offense consisted in 
circulating a handbill which contained quotations from the Con¬ 
stitution and quotations from President Wilson’s utterances regard¬ 
ing freedom ol speech. According to that, those who are here to¬ 
day, if we had not in a sense been invited here and were not there¬ 
fore in a sense your guests, might also be prosecuted, since the espio¬ 
nage act is still in force, and we might be convicted under that act. 

Senator Sterling. Was the purpose of these handbills to create a 
sentiment in favor of the release of political prisoners ? 

Miss Witherspoon. Precisely that. In spite of the promises of 
the Attorney General, the espionage act is still enforced, persons are 
still being convicted, and while this is a very extreme case, there are 
other cases which can be matched up with it. As Mr. Lee has said, it 
is not a question here whether the war emergency justified the passage 
of this law and similar laws or not. The question before us is, Is it the 
proper policy for the American Nation to pursue, to continue to convict 
under this espionage act, to continue to hold in prison men and women 
whose offenses date back more than two years ago ? 

Senator Sterling. Let me ask you tms question: Is not nearly all 
the discussion relating to the espionage act, and convictions and prose¬ 
cutions under the espionage act ? 

Miss Witherspoon. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. Some of these prosecutions and convictions 
have been under the selective service act. What do you say as to that ? 

Miss Witherspoon. You probably know that all the conscientious 
objectors have been now freed. The men whose consciences would 
not permit them to take part in the war have been freed. The men 
who are not freed are men whose opinions are known to be at variance 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS.

with the opinions of the majority in this country on social and political 
questions. 

I will not take any further time of the committee, because Judge 
Panken wants to develop the question of the status of political pris¬ 
oners. But I do just want to ask you to bear in mind that some of 
us who are not in Congress, who are just Americans outside, who hold 
no political office in Washington, are very seriously concerned about 
the future of this country if we continue this era of suppression. And 
far from growing less, it seems to some of us that it is growing more 
intense all the time. 

STATEMENT OF HON. JACOB PANKEN, OF NEW YORK CITY. 

Mr. Panken. Mr. Chairman, I am a justice of the municipal court 
of the city of New York. I want to address myself to one phase of the 
question concerning political prisoners. A great many people in our 
country believe that we make no distinction in this country between 
political prisoners and other prisoners, political offenders and other 
offenders. As a matter of fact, the tradition and history of the coun¬ 
try prove conclusively that we have at all times made a distinction 
between those who were guilty of political offenses and those who were 
guilty of the commission of crimes. All through the history of the 
country we have recognized a difference between the immigrant who 
was a political offender and the immigrant who was a criminal. Our 
treaties with other nations have had provisions which eliminated the 
right of the foreign nation to obtain the person of a man guilty of a 
political offense in their own country. 

Senator Sterling. I think our immigration law makes some dis¬ 
tinction, does it not, between political offenders and ordinary criminals ? 

Mr. Panken. Yes; the immigration law as well as the treaties 
make that distinction. By treaty nations can not require the 
person of a political offender; and that applies not only to those 
who have been in disagreement with the government and by expres¬ 
sion of opinion have made known their disagreement, but even to 
such as have taken up arms against their government, and they have 
been exempted from extradition processes under our immigration 
laws and in the treaties. 

Not long ago an immigrant came to this country whose name was 
Forang. The Russian Government instituted extradition pro¬ 
ceedings and a long trial was had, and finally it was determined that 
although a charge of taking up arms against the then existing Rus¬ 
sian Government had been proved against Forang, yet in view of the 
fact that that was a political act the court held that the Russian 
Government was not entitled to extradite him. 

So we find ourselves in this position in this country, that we must 
recognize the fact that by law, by usage, and by tradition we have 
made a distinction between political and other offenders. 

The reason I point that out to you, Mr. Ghairman, is because the 
resolution which is under consideration is one for amnesty for a 
group of men, and the reason amnesty is asked for that group of men 
is because they have been indicted, convicted, and imprisoned 
because of a political act, which consisted in the fact that they dis¬ 
agreed with the administration in the conduct of the government; 


64 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

disagreed with the administration, for instance, in the method of 
prosecuting the war. There are those who believe that the army- 
should have been raised by a call for volunteers. There are those 
who believe, for instance, that the war should have been financed 
by direct taxation instead of by Liberty loans—by bonds. There 
are those who believe that America had no right and had no cause 
to participate in this war, and they have given expression to that 
opinion, not as men who have violated the Constitution, but as men 
wno have simply given expression to an opinion that they had. 
They are not men who have violated the law on the statute book, 
but merely in pursuance of the right guaranteed to them gave 
expression to their opinions, acts which in their nature are purely 
political. If the Democratic Party is in power, those of the citizenry 
who believe in the Republican principles and the Republican Party 
form of government disagree with the administration by the Demo¬ 
cratic Party, and vice versa. Their disagreement and the expression 
of that disagreement is nothing more than a political act. 

By virtue of laws passed during the war, emergency laws temporary 
in their character, intended for the time being, these men were 
indicted, tried, and convicted. 

You asked Mr. Lee as to his opinion of section 3 of the espionage act 
so called. Before I went to the bench I was counsel in a case which was 
tried in Auburn, N. Y., before one of our district judges in the north¬ 
ern part of our State. The indictment charged the circulation of a 
circular or handbill which contained opinions. I think the handbill 
was called “The Price We Pay,” and these men were convicted 
because they circulated the handbill. They had nothing to do with 
the writing of it; they had nothing to do with the publication of the 
handbill. It was published in Chicago. 

Senator Sterling. What was the exact charge against them? 

Mr. Panken. The exact charge against them was under section 3 
of the espionage act, in that the circulation of that handbill tended 
to discourage recruiting or enlistment. It was in the regular form as 
these indictments have been handed down. 

These men were convicted. I went then to the bench. The 
appeal was not perfected, for one reason or another, and the men 
served some eight months. I think one served a year. There were 
four men, all told, who were convicted for the circulation of that hand¬ 
bill. So the statute and the purpose of the statute was perverted, 
in a condition of hysteria. You will find that a jury will render a 
verdict that an opinion contained in a handbill, arrived at after a 
discussion of certain facts, is a false conclusion, and under that 
statute it would be a violation of the law. 

Senator Sterling. Could it be said that the natural or probable 
effect of the circulation of the handbills would have been to obstruct 
recruiting or enlistment in the Army ? 

Mr. Panken. I think, Mr. Chairman, that the circulation of the 
Bible could be interpreted to mean that it would obstruct enlistment. 
“Love thy neighbor,” for instance, would certainly lead some 
people to believe that that would inhibit fighting and war. 

Senator Sterling. That is a rather remote and far-fetched illus¬ 
tration. 

Mr. Panken. You have just asked a question whether the circu¬ 
lation of that handbill could be so construed. I make you this 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


65 


answer, that the circulation of the Bible, if taken literally by some 
people, might be taken as an instruction from the Most High not to 
engage in war. 

As a matter of fact, there were men by the hundreds who came 
from South Dakota, which I think is your State, Senator, who re¬ 
refused to don the uniform or to take up arms, because of their 
religious belief, because of their religious teaching, and a great many 
of them were sent to Fort Leavenworth. Fortunately these men 
have all been discharged since the armistice. I am quite sure that 
you, Mr. Chairman, are familiar with the Mennonites in South Da¬ 
kota. 

Senator Sterling. I am very familiar with them. And now my 
question is this: It relates to the circulation of the handbills, the 
overt act of these men who were prosecuted. My question is whether, 
considering the time and the circumstances, the circulation of those 
handbills could have had the natural or probable effect of obstruct¬ 
ing either the enlistment of men or the recruiting of men for the war. 

Mr. Panken. That becomes a question of opinion. If there is no 
proof that they influenced any person to refuse service under the 
selective draft act, or to refuse to volunteer into the service of the 
United States, it becomes conjectural as to whether that would have 
had that influence or not. You can not reduce it to a mathematical 
proposition. 

Senator Sterling. Our conjecture or opinion must be reached 
from the facts surrounding us, from the environment. 

Mr. Panken. For that reason I say that a great many of these 
men who have been indicted and convicted have been convicted un¬ 
justly. There was no intent on their part to violate the law. There 
was no intent on their part to commit any crime. They merely 
followed what they believed their right to express their opinions. 
Some people believe that the opinion as they expressed it would tend 
to discourage enlistment, and hence these men received sentences, 
some of them, as high as 20 years. 

There is one point to which I desire to direct the attention of the 
committee particularly. Not one of the men for whom we appear 
has been charged, even by implication, with having been in the 
employ of the German Government or of any enemy of the United 
States. Not one of these men or women has been charged with having 
knowingly attempted to give aid or succor to the Imperial German 
Government, or to any of the enemies of the United States with whom 
we were at war. It was a technical violation of the statute with 
which all these men were charged. 

There was a man in the United States who was a spy of the German 
Government. He was apprehended, indicted, tried, and found guilty 
of being a spy of the German Government. Not only was he guilty 
of being a spy of the German Government, but he was found guilty 
of committing an overt act, placing explosives in an outgoing steamer. 
I refer to Fritz von Rintelen. When Fritz von Rintelen came up for 
sentence, the court imposed upon him a sentence of five years’ 
imprisonment. He had served about two years or thereabouts, I 
believe, and the President then pardoned von Rintelen, and to-day 
he is on the high seas, going back home to Germany. This man who 

34773—21-5 


66 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


was a spy, an enemy of the country, convicted not of the expression of 
an opinion, but of an overt act, convicted of the commission of a 
crime, not the technical violation of a statute, yet he received only 
five years’ sentence, and after he had served two years he was 
pardoned. 

Senator Sterling. A great many people think he did not get his 
just deserts. 

Mr. Panken. Yes; I think so myself; and I think that the men 
who are now in jail and who were sent to prison under the espionage 
act, who were not enemies of the country, not in the employ of ene¬ 
mies of the country, did not get their just deserts either. 

Three weeks ago to-morrow I went to see Eugene V. Debs in the 
prison where he is confined. I do not know whether you are or any 
other member of this committee is personally acquainted with Eugene 
V. Debs. It has been my privilege to have been acquainted with him 
for more than 20 years. He was brought down into the counsel room 
to meet me. If there ever was a man who was Christlike in his spirit 
and his attitude, that man stood before me as I sat there in the counsel 
room. Debs received from the court a sentence of 10 years. He has 
been in jail almost two years now. The President has not seen fit as 
yet to release him. When you compare Debs with Fritz von Rintelen 
you compare every other man for whom we appear with Fritz von 
Rintelen. The others may not be as prominent as Mr. Debs, may not 
be as well known, but what they did was done by them under the 
same feeling, under the same belief, actuated by the same motive as 
that which actuated Mr. Debs. 

I hold in my hand a little book with the expressions of some of 
the noblest men that America has produced, expressions which they 
have written concerning Mr. Debs. I want to read into the record, 
Mr. Chairman, what Mr. Edwin Markham, the great American poet, 
has to say about Debs. 

Eugene V. Debs. This is one of the greatest names of the great names of the coun¬ 
try. No one—not even a political enemy—has ever said that Debs is not sincere to 
the core of his heart. It is an event to meet this courageous friend of man. The 
grasp of his hand is comforting; the look at his lighted face is an inspiration. In that 
one look you are taken into the door of his home, seated at his table, warmed at his 
chimney fire. 

Here is what Eugene Field has to say about him: 

’Gene Debs is the most lovable man I ever knew. His heart is as gentle as a woman’s 
and as fresh as a mountain brook. If Debs were a priest, the world would listen to 
his eloquence, and that gentle, musical voice and sad, sweet smile of his would soften 
the hardest heart. 

Here is what the great American poet, James Whitcomb Riley, 
had to say in four lines: 

And ther’s ’Gene Debs—a man ’at stands 
And jest holds out his two hands, 

As warm a heart as ever beat 
Betwixt here and the Jedgment Seat. 

These are some of the great men that America has produced. This 
is the opinion that they have of Eugene V. Debs. I have singled 
him out because I feel that he is a representative of all the other men 
who have been convicted under the espionage act. As I said before, 
they were actuated by the same motive that he was. 

Is Eugene Y. Debs a criminal in the accepted sense of the word? 
Can any man conceive that Eugene V. Debs would ever hurt any 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


67 


human being; would ever run counter to the established law of the 
land? The jury found that he had violated the espionage act, that 
his speech at Canton, Ohio, tended to discourage enlistment, but 
that was the opinion of the jury. No proof was submitted to that 
jury wherein one person appeared and said that he was discouraged 
by this statement of Mr. Debs or the statement of any other man who 
was imprisoned from enlistment. 

And finally, Mr. Chairman, I want to say one other word. I 
would not come before your committee, and the Socialist Party 
would not send a delegation to this committee, and ask you to report 
favorably the resolution introduced by Senator France of Maryland 
unless we felt that these men and these women were actuated by 
the highest motives when they gave expression to the opinions that 
they did express on these various occasions. And it is not in the 
spirit of repentance that we present to you the names of these men 
and these women and ask you for favorable consideration of this 
resolution, because if they did repent it would naturally amount to 
an admission on their part that they did intend to violate the law. 
Unrepentant they appear before the bar of American public opinion, 
and they say to the American people, “What we have said we have 
said because we believed it, because we were honest, because we 
desired to express those opinions in accordance with our rights as 
American citizens.’’ 

Senator Sterling. The committee appreciate the attendance of 
these representatives of the Socialist Party. The committee will 
want to hear from the Attorney General, and a meeting of the com¬ 
mittee will be called in order that he may furnish us with data in 
regard to the number of persons who have been convicted, and the 
offenses for which they have been convicted, the number who have 
been indicted and who are not in prison, the charges against them, 
etc. We must do that before taking final action. 

Mr. Panken. Just one word. I understand that the Attorney 
General has within the last six or eight weeks recommended the 
release of some, so that the figures that have been supplied by Mr. 
Lee and Miss Witherspoon probably are not entirely accurate as to 
the present number. 

Mr. Lee. The figures are only approximate. 

Senator Sterling. The Attorney General may know about that, 
and will be questioned about it. The subcommittee will stand 
adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. 

(Thereupon, at 12 o’clock and 5 minutes p. m., the subcommittee 
adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman.) 



AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1921. 

United States Senate, 

Subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary, 

Washington, D. C. 

The subcommittee met pursuant to the call of the chairman at 
10.30 o’clock a. m., Senator Thomas Sterling presiding. 

Present, Senators Sterling (chairman), Borah, and Walsh of Mon¬ 
tana. 

There were also present Mr. A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General; 
Air. Robert P. Stewart, Assistant Attorney General in charge of 
criminal matters; Mr. Hugh A. Fisher, Mr. Arthur Robb, of the De¬ 
partment of Justice. 

STATEMENT OF MR. A. MITCHELL PALMER, ATTORNEY 
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES. 

Senator Sterling. Attorney General Palmer, you were requested 
to be present at this hearing to make a statement relative to certain 
matters of fact connected with the amnesty resolution, so called, in¬ 
troduced by Senator France, and now before the committee. I think 
you have read the resolution and are acquainted with its contents, 
and know probably from the letter sent you as to the facts in regard 
to which we wish to hear from you. 

We desire to have a list of the persons convicted under the so-called 
war acts, including the espionage act, the selective service act, so far 
as you can give them, and a brief statement of the charges upon 
which the convictions were had, the date of the convictions, and 
the facts concerning the execution of the sentences, the date and 
circumstances of the release in cases where the parties have been 
discharged; the number of persons arrested under any of these acts, 
the number released without indictment, the number indicted and 
released without trial, and the number indicted but not arrested. 

We would be pleased to hear from you in regard to any or all of 
these facts. 

Attorney General Palmer. Mr. Chairman, when your letter was 
received I was impressed with the thought that it was a pretty large 
order; but I very promptly put to work the officers of the Depart¬ 
ment of Justice who had these matters in charge, and I am able to 
give you the information now, so far as it appears from the records 
of the Department of Justice. I have not circularized the district 
attorneys of the country to verify and complete this information, 
but what I give you is taken from the dockets kept by the Depart¬ 
ment of Justice, which are made up from reports submitted to us by 
district attorneys in various parts of the country. 


69 



70 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


In giving the numbers of the cases and the action taken thereon, 
it is barely possible that some inaccuracies may appear by reason 
of the failure of some district attorneys to make final reports. 

It is quite possible that some cases have been disposed of which 
we carry on the dockets of the Department of Justice as pending. 
We can not keep up to date with those reports. 

Senator Sterling. Are those reports of the district attorneys made 
periodically ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I think they are. 

Mr. Robb. Reports are made monthly and in between. 

Senator Sterling. Do they report on their own initiative between 
those times, or as reports are called for ? 

Attorney General Palmer. They report under general instructions 
from the Department of Justice to make periodical reports of all 
cases handled by them of every kind in their offices, and of course 
included in them are these offenses under the war-time statutes, and 
these have been culled from the reports and taken from our dockets, 
which are kept from information furnished by these reports to the 
Department of Justice at Washington. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Does that include arrests made and 
complaints filed before committing magistrates, as well as indictments 
returned by grand juries ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I think it covers all cases, but I do not 
understand that reports are made when arrests are made and hearings 
had before committing magistrates, but only when they get into the 
district attorney’s office in the way of indictments. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. So that those reports would not in¬ 
clude complaints made before committing magistrates and the dis¬ 
charges of persons so charged ? 

Mr. Robb. No, sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The court commissioners are obliged 
to make reports, are they not ? 

Mr. Robb. Not to my division. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The district attorney submits the ac¬ 
count of the court commissioner monthly, does he not ? 

Mr. Robb. I presume so. That is a matter for the accounting 
division. I have nothing to do with that. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The commissioner makes a report, 
does he not, in substantiation of his account, telling exactly what 
he did ? 

Mr. Fisher. He returns his account quarterly, but that is the only 
report I know of that he makes. 

¥ Attorney General Palmer. He does not give any list of cases that 
he handles. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. He charges fees in the matter of 
so-and-so. 

Mr. Fisher. Yes; that appears in his account. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. And the district attorney is called 
upon to pass on that, and then it goes to the court. 

Mr. Fisher. And the court approves it. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The court approves it on the report 
of the district attorney ordinarily. 

Mr. Fisher. Yes. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


71 


Senator Walsh of Montana. That is the usual course, is it not ? 

Mr. Fisher. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. In some way your office learns of these 
complaints filed before a court commissioner. 

Mr. Fisher. They could, probably, by examining all the commis¬ 
sioner’s accounts. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Does not the district attorney report 
in respect to all of those cases concerning which he acts ? 

Mr. Fisher. As I understand it, he only reports on cases under 
indictment. Is that correct, Mr. Robb ? 

Mr. Robb. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Then is it correct, Mr. Attorney 
General, that your office does not know anything about the proceed¬ 
ings conducted by the district attorney except those that result in 
indictments ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I think all the cases handled by the 
district attorney’s office are reported. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I am speaking of proceedings anterior 
to the filing of an information or indictment. 

Attorney General Palmer. Which do not result in proceedings in 
court ? 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Which do not result in indictment or 
information. 

Mr. Fisher. They would be on the dockets in the district attor¬ 
ney’s office. The only record that the department here would have 
would be the account that finally comes here for the collection of the 
commissioner’s fees, and that would be in the accounting department. 

Senator Sterling. Suppose the district attorney has appeared be¬ 
fore the commissioner acting as an examining magistrate, and that 
there has been no indictment found and no information. Does not 
the district attorney report that case at all ? 

Mr. Fisher. He has a docket in which those data are available at 
any time, but it is not the character of report required under the 
regulations. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. He is obliged to keep such a docket, of 
course, in order that he may check up the commissioner’s proceedings. 

Mr. Fisher. Yes; and the examiners of the department go around 
about every two years and check those up. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Let me ask you further then, suppose 
that the proceeding before the commissioner does result in an indict¬ 
ment or information. You then, of course, have a report of that? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. You may proceed. 

Attorney General Palmer. The total number of cases handled by 
the Department of Justice under war-time statutes, as shown by the 
dockets kept by the department in Washington, based upon the 
reports which I have mentioned, has been 17,900. Of these 2,924 
have been disposed of otherwise than by convictions. Five thousand 
seven hundred and twenty have resulted in convictions and 9,259 
are pending. 

As for the details of those cases, the largest number, of course, are 
the cases arising under the selective service act, under sections 5 and 6, 
of which 2,144"have been disposed of otherwise than by conviction, 
4,812 have resulted in conviction, and 8,846 are still pending. 


72 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


These cases do not include those arising under sections 12 and 13 
of the selective service act, which relate to the selling of liquor and 
the keeping of bawdy houses within the restricted zone, and those 
are not reported to us, because they are misdemeanors, punishable 
by fine or jail sentence, and do not ordinarily reach the stage which 
results in a report to the Department of Justice. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Sections 5 and 6 cover what? 

Attorney General Palmer. Failure to register, and so forth. 

Under the espionage act 736 cases have been disposed of otherwise 
than by conviction and 581 have resulted in conviction, while 315 
cases are pending. 

Under the passport act 25 cases have been disposed of otherwise 
than by conviction, 218 have resulted in conviction, and 59 are 
pending. 

Under the sabotage act, 1 has been disposed of otherwise than 
by conviction- 

Senator Walsh of Montana. That is a separate act? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes; the act of April 20, 1918. One 
has been disposed of otherwise than by conviction, 7 have resulted 
in conviction, and 4 are pending. 

Under the explosives act 4 have been disposed of otherwise than 
by conviction, 96 have resulted in conviction, and 9 are pending. 

Under the trading with the enemy act 14 have been disposed of 
otherwise than by conviction, 6 have resulted in conviction, and 26 
cases are pending. 

As I have explained, these figures do not include the number of 
persons arrested under these acts and released without indictment. 
We do not have this information on our dockets in the Department 
of Justice. The figures do include persons indicted and cases disposed 
of other than by conviction, whether by acquittal, nolle pros, or 
otherwise, and the persons indicted though not arrested. 

You asked me also for the names of those persons convicted, the 
nature of the case, the judgment, and the circumstances of the exe¬ 
cution of sentence. 

I have you this information tabulated. Here is a list of all con¬ 
victions, district by district, which should number 4,812, giving the 
name of the defendant, the nature of the case, the date of sentence, 
the judgment of sentence, and where we have any information thereon 
the circumstances of the execution of the sentence, under the draft 
act. 

Senator Sterling. Those are all under the draft act? 

Attorney General Palmer. All under the draft act. I gave you 
the figures before. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Something over 4,000. 

Attorney General Palmer. Four thousand eight hundred and 
twelve. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Can you give us the figures upon the 
way those have been executed, how many have served out their 
sentences and how many have been released otherwise ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I can give you all the penitentiary 
cases. I will get to that. But, Senator, you will see the difficulty of 
giving you that information with respect to every one of these cases. 
Take the first page under the draft act, one case 6 months, another 
12 days, another 1 hour in custody of the marshal, another 1 hour in 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


73 


custody of the marshal, another 1 hour in custody of the marshal, 
another 15 days, another 10 days, another 15 days, another 1 hour in 
the custody of the marshal, another a fine of $200 and costs, another 
of 3 months, another of 10 days, another 1 hour in the custody of the 
marshal, another of 1 day in the custody of the marshal. 

We do not have any record of when those persons were released or 
whether they served their sentences. Those are usually jail sentences 
and not reported to the department. We have no report of those 
cases from the jails. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Then you can not tell us how many 
of these four thousand and odd cases would fall under the operation 
of this resolution of amnesty ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I can not tell you, except this, that 
before I finish I will give the name of every person, whether convicted 
under this or any other war-time statute, who is in the penitentiary; 
but I think it is a pretty safe statement to say that all of these people 
have served their jail sentences and are done and are out. They are 
all small cases. 

Now I hand you a statement covering 581 cases of persons convicted 
under the espionage act, giving the name of the defendant, the nature 
of the case, the date of the sentence, and the judgment; and where the 
sentence has been commuted or changed, that fact appears under the 
heading, “Circumstances of execution of sentence.” 

For instance, here is a page on the third division of Alaska. In the 
first case the fine was remitted. It gives the date. In the third case 
the fine was remitted and it gives the date. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Can you give us the figures on the 
cases-covered in this statement? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes; I gave you the figures—581 cases 
of persons convicted under the espionage act. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. And the number in which sentence is 
still running? 

Attorney General Palmer. I will give you that when I come to the 
report of the pardons. 

Senator Sterling. Can you state under what provisions of the 
espionage act these convictions have been had, the most of them? 

Attorney General Palmer. They are all under Title I. 

Mr. Fisher. They are under sections 3 and 4. 

Senator Sterling. Have there been any convictions under the 
act amending section 3 of the espionage act ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Oh, yes, a few. I now hand you a 
similar list-- 

Senator Walsii of Montana. Will you pardon me in this con¬ 
nection ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Certainly. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The chairman asked if there had been 
any convictions under the amendment to section 3 of the espionage 
act, and you answered that there had been a few. Were those 
indictments under the provisions of section 3 as it first appeared in 
the amendment or would they have been subject to indictment under 
the original section 3 ? 

Mr. Stewart. Under the act as amended there are only a very few. 

Senator Borah. When you say a few, what are we to understand 
by a few ? 


74 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

Mr. Stewart. Simply a small number as compared with the 
total number. 

Attorney General Palmer. A small proportion of the whole. 

Senator Borah. I supposed it was small in proportion to the 
entire number. 

Mr. Stewart. Yes. 

Senator Walsii of Montana. Are they listed ? 

Mr. Stewart. Yes. 

Attorney General Palmer. The section under which each case 
was brought appears in the record. 

I file a similar list of the convictions under the passport act in 
218 cases, giving the name of the defendant, the nature of the case, 
the date of the sentence, and the judgment in each case. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Please tell us generally what was the 
nature of the offense under that act ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Entering without a passport, the 
forging of passports, leaving without a passport, etc. 

Senator Sterling. Referring to the convictions under section 3 
of the espionage act, if your memorandum simply shows convic¬ 
tions under section 3, it might be under section 3 as amended, be¬ 
cause under the terms of the amendment section 3 is to be “amended 
to read as follows,” and then a great many things are included in the 
amendatory act beyond what were included in the original section 3. 

Attorney General Palmer. I do not see how I could give you the 
details without filing a copy of the indictment in every case. I sup¬ 
pose we can do that by sending for them. 

I file the same list of convictions under the explosives act, number¬ 
ing 96 cases, containing the name, the nature of the case, the date 
of the sentence and the judgment in each case. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The chairman and I have been follow¬ 
ing that inquiry, because we have before us now a bill to repeal the 
war statutes, and it was a question as to how far we should go in the 
repeal of section 3 and the amended section 3, whether we should 
content ourselves with repealing the amendment, or whether we 
should endeavor to secure the repeal of the entire section. 

We were desirous of ascertaining, if possible, to what extent con¬ 
victions had been had under those provisions of the amended section 
which are new. Probably the Assistant Attorney General can give 
us that information by an examination of the reports. 

Attorney General Palmer. These are nearly all under section 3, 
so reported, and some under section 2, without saying whether as 
amended or not. Can we work that out, Mr. Stewart ? 

Mr. Stewart. It would be very difficult without circularizing all 
the district attorneys. 

Attorney General Palmer. I do not believe it appears in the re¬ 
ports that we get. We could send a circular to every district attorney. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. That will not be necessary. 

Attorney General Palmer. I file a similar list of sabotage cases, 
covering seven cases, giving the name of the defendant, the nature of 
the case, the date of sentence, and the judgment. 

Senator Sterling. You refer to the sabotage cases. Are those 
cases under the act passed to prevent the destruction of property, 
machinery, etc., used in the production of war materials during the 
war? 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 75 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes; the act of April 20, 1918, which 
is contained on page 533 of volume 40 of the Statutes at Large. 

I file a similar list of convictions under the trading with the enemy 
act, giving the name of the defendant, the nature of each case, the 
date of the sentence, and the judgment, in each of 46 cases. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Will you tell us generally what is the 
charge in those cases ? 

Attorney General Palmer. The criminal provisions of the trading 
with the enemy act cover failure to report enemy property to the 
alien property custodian, the making of false reports, and communi¬ 
cating with the enemy by means of letters. I do not know what 
these cases were—most of them under section 19. Section 19 cases 
are communication cases. Sections 5 and 6 cover failures to report. 

Senator Sterling. How many cases all told under the trading with 
the enemy act ? Do you recall ? 

Attorney General Palmer. All told, there were 46, of which 14 
were disposed of otherwise than by conviction, 6 resulted in convic¬ 
tions, and 26 are pending. 

Probably the most important of the trading with the enemy act 
cases are pending. There have been recent convictions in some cases. 

Now, Mr. Chairman, I hand you a list of persons convicted of viola¬ 
tion of the espionage act, giving the name, the offense, the peniten¬ 
tiary in which confined, the district in which convicted, the date of 
sentence, the term and the date of expiration of sentence. 

You will note that these are all penitentiary cases, and are all the 
cases as far as our records show where violators of the espionage act 
have gone to the penitentiary. They number 237, of whom 133 are 
still in the penitentiary and 104 have been released. 

Senator Borah. Released, how? 

Attorney General Palmer. Either by expiration of sentence, 
commutation of sentence, or pardon. 

Senator Borah. This shows that, does it ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes. There may be some who have 
been released on bond after they went to the penitentiary. 

Senator Sterling. That is, pending appeal? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes. 

Mr. Stewart. There are three appeals. One was settled yester¬ 
day, the California case. 

Attorney General Palmer. I file also a table showing the espionage 
act cases acted upon by the President up to and including January 
15, 1921. 

Of these espionage cases the first was acted on by the President on 
July 2, 1918; and from that time down to the present, cases have 
been in due course of business referred by the Department of Justice 
to the President for action. One hundred and ninety-nine have been 
pardoned or commuted by the President and there are still pending 
in the department 130. 

These figures,*you will see, are different from the figures I just gave 
on the list of convictions under the espionage act. On that list there 
appear to be 133 persons still in the penitentiary. Our pardon 
docket shows 130 cases pending. That means that we consider as 
pending all these penitentiary cases. One hundred and four on 
this list are out, while 199 have been pardoned or commuted by the 


76 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


President. The difference between 104 and 199 represents the cases 
of men who never got to the penitentiary, who were pardoned or 
commuted before they went there, or who received jail sentences or 
lines, so that those cases are not in the list of the penitentiary cases, 
but swell the number acted on by the President. 

Now I hand you a list of the 199 cases which the President has 
acted upon, where pardons or commutations of sentence have been 
granted by the President in espionage cases, or possibly under some 
other war-time statutes, but mostly espionage cases, showing the 
name of the applicant as he is called here—that is the name of the 
defendant. Most of these cases are acted upon without a formal 
petition for pardon. This list shows the district where tried, the 
offense for which tried, the sentence, the recommendation of the 
Attorney General, and the action of the President. 

I will say, Mr. Chairman, that when I came to the Department of 
Justice on March 4, 1919,1 found this work of reviewing the sentences 
of persons convicted under war-time statutes proceeding and pretty 
far advanced. My predecessor, Mr. Gregory, had given instructions 
that the Assistant Attorney General then in office in charge of the 
war-time statutes, Mr. O’Brian, should review all of the sentences 
imposed under these war-time acts and make recommendations to 
him with a view to his making recommendations to the President. 
Whether an application for pardon had been filed o£ not made no 
difference. He had issued, under date of February 1, 1919, a circular 
letter addressed to all United States attorneys, which circular letter 
is as follows: 

Department of Justice, 
Washington , D. C., February 1, I9l9. 

CIRCULAR NO. 931. 

To all United States attorneys: 

You are undoubtedly aware of an agitation now current demanding a “general 
amnesty for all political prisoners. ” In the view of this department, section 3, Title 
I. of the espionage act was enacted to prevent willful obstruction of the prosecution 
of the war and was not directed against individual beliefs and opinions as such, and 
the department has sought to conduct its prosecutions on this basis. It therefore 
recognizes no such class of persons as “political offenders,” and it is not in favor of 
any general amnesty. , 

Nevertheless it may be that during the war some individuals in close cases have been 
convicted upon inadequate evidence of their willful intent to interfere with the war 
program, and others have undoubtedly received sentences unduly severe. 

In the interest of justice these mistakes, if any, should be corrected. With this 
consideration in mind, I some time since directed that my department make a study 
of all cases which have arisen under said section, with a view to presenting to the 
President for executive clemency, by way of commutation or reduction of sentence, 
any cases which clearly merit such treatment. 

In making this study I desire your personal opinion and advice. Will you, therefore, 
immediately send the department a frank and informal expression of your views upon 
the justice of the verdict and sentence in each case of conviction under this section 
where the term of the sentence remains unexpired, together with your recommenda¬ 
tions, if any, concerning commutation, pardon, or reduction of sentence? In re¬ 
viewing the justice of the verdict, you will please apply the test of sufficiency of evi¬ 
dence to prove a willful intent and not any such tests as the general disloyalty or dan¬ 
gerousness of the defendant. In connection with your report and recommendations 
upon each of these cases, will you please confer with the trial judge and transmit any 
suggestions or recommendations as the trial judge may be willing to make. 

Also please fill out and return for each such case the attached docket entries, one 
to be made out for each defendant. If more than one defendant is involved in a case, 
and your recommendations are identical for all, one docket entry will be sufficient 
for such case. 

Respectfully, 


T. W. Gregory, Attorney General. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS.

Senator Borah. What is the date of that ? 

Attorney General Palmer. February 1, 1919. I came into office 
on the 5th of March, 1919; and as I say, I found that these reports 
were coming in, and before Mr. O’Brian left the service, which was 
some months later, he had completed the reports on a considerable 
number of cases; I would guess possibly 100. I am not certain about 
the number. The modus operandi was this: He got a report from 
the district attorney, and the opinion of the judge, and submitted it 
to one of his assistants, who had been supervising possibly the conduct 
of that case, for an opinion. An opinion was written. He reviewed 
it, and after conference with the Attorney General, his recommenda¬ 
tion was either sustained or changed, and a letter drafted containing 
all the facts and making a recommendation to the President, who 
acted upon that recommendation. 

In some districts the sentences imposed during the war were more 
severe than in others. In some districts the judges felt that it was 
a splendid way to sustain the morale of the people to impose very 
heavy sentences, and in some of the industrial districts particularly 
the sentences were unduly severe. There were 20-year sentences in 
some cases for violations of the espionage act. There were many 
10-year sentences. These were nearly all reduced. I think that all 
that reached the stage of consideration by the Attorney General 
during that period were largely reduced, not by any arithmetical 
rule which reduced a 10-year sentence to any particular time, but 
according to the facts of each case. 

Senator Sterling. Did you carry on the policy inaugurated by 
your predecessor ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes; we continued that, and have con¬ 
tinued it up to the present time. There have been many cases where 
applications for pardon in due form have been filed. You know, of 
course, that the Department of Justice, acting for the President in 
the matter—he being the sole pardoning power—has framed certain 
rules and regulations which have long been in force in the Depart¬ 
ment of Justice. For instance, a pardon will not be considered 
unless an application, either in the form prescribed by the regula¬ 
tions or one similar to it, is received. Upon the receipt of such an 
application the regular procedure is to request the district attorney 
and the trial judge for their opinion. The President does not con¬ 
sider any application for pardon unless either the district attorney 
or the judge makes a favorable recommendation. Neither does he 
consider an application for pardon unless innocence be alleged as a 
reason, until the parole period has been reached, that is to say, one- 
third of the sentence. 

Senator Sterling. Unless either the judge or the district attorney 
recommends it, it is not submitted to the President by the Depart¬ 
ment of Justice at all? 

Attorney General Palmer. No; I say the President will not con¬ 
sider it, so that we do not submit a case unless there is a favorable 
recommendation, either by the district attorney or the judge. Those 
are the rules and the regulations. Of course, exceptions have been 
made to them in cases where the facts seem to warrant them. But 
we broke these rules completely in the consideration of these war-time 
cases. We did not require a formal application for pardon. We 


78 AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

did get a report from the district attorney and the judge, but regard¬ 
less of what those reports were, a recommendation was made to the 
President in these cases. 

Senator Sterling. In many cases was the action of the Depart¬ 
ment of Justice contrary to that recommended by the judge or the 
district attorney ? ^ ... 

Attorney General Palmer. Well, that is a pretty hard question to 
answer. Undoubtedly there were cases where we differed with the 
judge and the district attorney. I would say, if this is a correct 
answer to your question, that the attitude of the department and the 
President lias been much more lenient than that of the judges and 
district attorneys. Some of the judges who imposed heavy sentences 
felt that those sentences should still remain heavy. Others freely 
agreed that they were too heavy because imposed during the war, 
and now that war conditions were over, that they ought to be reduced. 
Some judges took the position that the time had not yet come for the 
consideration of these cases, and refused to make any recommenda¬ 
tion. I think it is a fair statement, however, to say that we went 
further than the judges and district attorneys went. 

Senator Borah. There would not be much hope for the prisoner 
unless you did. 

Attorney General Palmer. In many cases I guess that is so, Senator. 

Senator Sterling. Your predecessor, in the letter which you read 
expressed an opinion as to the policy of granting general amnesty. 
Do you care to express your own view in that same connection ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Mr. Chairman, my view of it is this, 
that these cases are receiving precisely the same consideration that it 
would be necessary to give them if there were a proclamation of gen¬ 
eral amnesty. That is to say, the only kind of a proclamation that 
could be at all effective, or which those who have been agitating for 
this legislation have asked for, is a general proclamation granting 
amnesty or pardon to all persons convicted of violations of the 
espionage act. Now, in a large proportion of the cases persons con¬ 
victed of violations of the espionage act were also convicted of some 
other offense, and beyond question it would be necessary to examine 
every case upon its facts to determine whether it came within the 
terms of the general proclamation. We would have to do exactly what 
we are doing now. Of course, if there were such a general proclama¬ 
tion, and the President was granting pardon to all persons convicted 
under the espionage act, I assume that he would put into the procla¬ 
mation a provision that it should apply to persons convicted only 
under the espionage act. In that case it would be comparatively a 
simple matter for us to pick out all the cases remaining of violations 
of that law alone and grant the pardon, but we would have to exam¬ 
ine all the cases to see whether each case was that kind of a case, and 
we are doing that now. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. What other offenses can be joined in 
the indictment ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Well, sabotage and conspiracy, under 
the general conspiracy statute frequently. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You couid not join a charge under the 
sabotage act with a charge under the espionage act, could you ? 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


79 


Attorney General Palmer. There might be a conspiracy charge 
that would cover the whole thing. Overt action under the sabotage 
act might be in the same indictment. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. There might be a conspiracy charge to 
violate the espionage act and a charge of violation. 

Attorney General Palmer. There may be cases where men have 
been arrested and tried upon several indictments and are serving 
more than one sentence. Every case would have to be examined. 
That is my point about it. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. If a man is serving a sentence under 
two convictions, I apprehend that a pardon granted him under one 
indictment would not avail him under the other. 

Attorney General Palmer. I think you find that the people who 
are agitating for the general amnesty would contend that all persons 
convicted under those laws should be released. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Of course, what I am trying to apply 
is your argument that a proclamation of general amnesty, for instance, 
to all of those convicted under the espionage act would involve the 
same line of inquiry that you are now prosecuting in each individual 
case. I do not understand exactly that that means. If there was a 
conviction under the espionage act, it would seem to follow without 
any further investigation that under the terms of the general procla¬ 
mation of amnesty all those convicted of offenses under that act were 
pardoned. 

Attorney General Palmer. If a person was convicted under the 
espionage act and nothing else. 

"Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes; and if amnesty were extended to 
a conviction under that act, and he were also incarcerated upon a 
conviction under some other act, of course, the warden of the peni¬ 
tentiary would not release him. 

Senator Borah. He would not be released from his conviction un¬ 
der the other act. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The warden would hold him under the 
other conviction. 

Attorney General Palmer. Still he would be a person convicted 
under the espionage act. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. True, if he was convicted under the 
espionage act and he was convicted under a charge of murder, and he 
was pardoned for the crime committed under the espionage act, he 
would still be held, of course, under the conviction for murder. 

Attorney General Palmer,. My point is simply this, Senator, that 
in any case under any sort of a proclamation, no warden of a peni¬ 
tentiary would feel free to act without some instruction from the 
Department of Justice, or from the President, in every particular 
case, so that every single case would have to be examined upon the 
facts to determine whether it came within the provisions of the 
President’s proclamation. It might be simpler in some cases than 
in others, but it would require just the same kind of examination that 
is required in these cases now. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. I understand that the examination you 
give to it now is an examination of the charge made and of the facts 
under which the conviction was had, and the circumstances under 
which it was had, whether there was a state of hysteria in the com- 


80 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 

munity, or whether there was calm and deliberate judgment and free- 
dom from prejudice on the part of the jury, or whether questionable 
instructions were given by the court, and so on. Upon those circum¬ 
stances, quite complicated often, you determine whether it is a case lor 
executive clemency or not; but under a general proclamation ol amnesty 
you would just examine the indictment to find out whether it tell 
under the provisions of the amnesty proclamation or not. it does 
not seem to me that is a work which involves any great labor at all 
or any difficulty of any character. Certainly it would be along quite 

different lines. , 

Senator Sterling. General amnesty would extend not only to 
those convicted but to those indicted as well, and what would have to 
be determined would be whether it was under the espionage act. 

Mr. Stewart. There might be a count under sections 3 or 4 ol the 
espionage act. There might be various counts. That would be the 
difficulty. , . ’ 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Of course if a man was convicted 
under all of them I suppose the pardon would extend to all the charges 
made in the indictment. 

Mr. Stewart. There might be a conviction under one count, under 
section 3, and possibly a conspiracy charge, to violate section 19. 

Attorney General Palmer. I should like to add one further list 
later in the day, because it is contained in a larger list which I doubt 
if you would want me to read into the record. These are cases where 
the defendants have been released on parole by action of the parole 
board, approved by the Attorney General. 

Senator Sterling. Does your memorandum show where the 
alleged offense was committed ? 

Attorney General Palmer. No. I should like to file this list with 
you during the day. There is no need of reading it through. It 
contains quite a number of pending cases. I do not think I ought 
to file the circumstances relating to these pending cases. All you 
want is cases in which action has been had, I take it ? 

Senator Sterling. Yes. 

Attorney General Palmer. We will make a list of these parole 
cases during the day. 

Senator Borah. You speak of pending cases. How many pending 
cases are there under the espionage act ? 

Attorney General Palmer. One hundred and thirty. 

Senator Borah. Still in the way of prosecution ? 

Attorney General Palmer. No. 

Senator Borah. How many are pending which have not been tried ? 

Attorney General Palmer. There are 315 pending cases. That 
does not mean they have not been tried. It means they have not 
been disposed of. I gave those figures before you came in. Under 
the espionage act we have disposed otherwise than by conviction of 
736 cases. We have 581 convictions and we have 315 pending in 
various stages of procedure. The number of pending cases I was 
referring to a moment ago as 130 are the clemency cases. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. General, I do not quite understand 
what you have just referred to, that obviously for some reason you 
do not care to make public the circumstances attending the pending 
applications for parole. 

Attorney General Palmer. No; not for parole. 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 81 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You gave us a list of those who were 
actually paroled. 

Attorney General Palmer. I am going to give you a list of those 
who are actually paroled. What I said was that I could not give you 
that list at this moment because it is contained in a larger list which 
covers cases where the Attorney General has taken action but the 
President has not, or where there is action pending before the Attorney 
General. It seems to me that since the President is the sole pardon¬ 
ing power and the Attorney General is simply his adviser, I ought not 
to file anywhere the record of my advice to him until he acts, and I do 
not think you would want it. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. That suits me quite well; but what I 
thought was this, that we are appealed to now with request for general 
amnesty. I thought possibly there might be in your judgment some 
reasons of public interest why these cases should not be included in 
the list of those to whom amnesty should be granted, if amnesty is 
granted. 

Attorney General Palmer. No; I am not withholding the list for 
that reason. I am withholding it simply because these cases are 
pending before the President. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. That is, there are no questions in¬ 
volving the public interest, any more than in the rest of them. 

Attorney General Palmer. No. 

I think that completes the information which you asked me to give 
you with respect to this matter. 

I should like to say just one thing further about this resolution, 
that I should hardly think the committee or the Senate could seriously 
consider it in its present form, at least. Its whereas clauses are 
rather startling misstatements of fact, it seems to me. 

Senator Sterling. It was contemplated that the committee in 
executive session would give careful consideration to the form of the 
resolution. 

Attorney General Palmer. I supposed so. 

Senator Sterling. But we would be glad to hear anything you 
may have to say in regard to it. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Some expression of opinion. 

Attorney General Palmer. I do not know that you would care to 
hear me on that, but my suggestions about it are very brief. The 
first whereas clause declares that there are in military prisons, or 
under bail pending appeal, a large number of persons convicted under 
the espionage act. 

There are no persons in military prisons that I know of convicted 
under the espionage act. So, of course, that is not in accordance 
with the fact. 

The second whereas clause recites the first amendment to the Con¬ 
stitution, about which, of course, there can be no doubt, but it declares 
that in view of that provision there is grave doubt as to the con¬ 
stitutionality of the espionage act. Well, the Supreme Court has 
settled that question, and while a long time ago there used to be 
doubt remaining as to the constitutionality of a law after the Supreme 
Court had said that it was constitutional, still I think that nowadays 
we have come to recognize that that is the end of that question. 

34773—21-6

AMNESTY AND PARDON EOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Senator Sterling. It was suggested to one of the witnesses who 
appeared before us the other day that probably the sole question 
here was not as to the constitutionality of the espionage act, or 
anything else recited in the preamble of the resolution, but a ques¬ 
tion of expediency in granting this general amnesty. 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes. The resolution itself provides 
that it is the sense of Congress that the further prosecution and 
imprisonment of such persons is contrary to “the democratic idealism 
and traditions of freedom to which our country is committed.” 

Of course if such a resolution were passed, it would put the De¬ 
partment of Justice in a rather peculiar and difficult position, to 
have the Congress of the United States pass a law and then have 
one body of that Congress declare that it was its sense that there 
should be no prosecutions under it. 

Senator Borah. As this is a joint resolution, it would have to be 
signed by the President, and then it would itself become a law. 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes; it is a joint resolution. 

Senator Borah. That was not the suggestion of your answer. 

Attorney General Palmer. If you do not want any prosecutions 
to be had under war-time statutes, the easiest way to do it would be 
to repeal the statutes, which would be the end of that. 

Senator Borah. That is what ought to be done if anything is 
done. 

Attorney General Palmer. That is the short cut to it. Of course 
the last paragraph of the resolution, which recommends to the 
President, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of War a care¬ 
ful consideration of the propriety, advisability, and wisdom of grant¬ 
ing immediate pardon and amnesty to all prisoners, etc., I can only 
comment upon by saying that without this resolution the President 
and the Attorney General at least have given the most careful con¬ 
sideration not only to the propriety of issuing such pardons, but 
to actual cases, resulting in the issuance of such pardons and com¬ 
mutations of sentences in many, many cases. Every case before 
us has been carefully considered upon its own facts. We have 
not completed the job yet. There are cases on my table almost 
every day, and I hope to be able to act, as far as I am concerned, 
on the larger proportion of the remainder of these cases before the 
4th of March. 

Senator Sterling. I should like to ask you this: What do you 
know, if anything, concerning the course of legislation or other pro¬ 
cedure in other countries engaged in the war, Great Britain, France, 
and Italy, in regard to granting amnesty for offenses against their 
war time legislation ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I have no first-hand information. 

Senator Stetling. I have seen the statement somewhere that 
they had granted amnesty. 

Attorney General Palmer. It has been represented to me. 

Senator Borah. Of course Ambassador Bryce, at the head of a 
committee, made a report only a short time after the close of the 
war, in favor of general amnesty to the political prisoners, so called, 
but I do not know what action was taken. 

Attorney General Palmer. Of course political prisoners in Euro¬ 
pean countries are a much more numerous company than they are 


AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


83 


in the United States of America. They clap people into jail on very 
much less provocation there than we do in the United States, an cl 
there are a great many more of them. 

Senator Borah. I do not think that is true in England. 

Attorney General Palmer. I have not got the figures. 

Senator Borah. I think it is true across the channel. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. It was so stated in the preamble to 
this resolution, General. Can you give the committee any informa¬ 
tion on that subject at all? 

Attorney General Palmer. I am not in a position to do so. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Do you know about Canada? 

Attorney General Palmer. No. sir. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. The suggestion that you make as to 
the right of arrest you do not intend, of course, to apply to Canada ? 

Attorney General Palmer. No; 1 think it is true of certain coun¬ 
tries of continental Europe. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes. 

Attorney General Palmer. The number of prisoners there arrested 
in war time for political offenses was infinitely greater than it has 
ever been in this country. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. There is no doubt about that. 

Attorney General Palmer. And the matter of the release of those 
prisoners after the war is almost a matter of self-preservation and 
defense. But the number in this country is so very .mall that it 
has always seemed to me to be a most striking evidence of the great 
care with which the rights of individuals have been protected here 
during the war. Take this number of espionage cases, Mr. Chairman, 
581 persons convicted out of a population of over 100,000,000; and 
even so, two or three released without conviction for every one that 
was convicted; and many more, doubtless, released without indict¬ 
ment or anything more than a hearing before a magistrate; all of 
which shows the care with which this law was administered by the 
courts of this country, the conviction of only 580 persons out of a 
hundred millions, in all the heat and worry of war times. It has 
always seemed to me a very striking evidence of the manner in 
which we have protected the rights of the people during the war; 
and -with the small number now remaining in the penitentiary, there 
can hardly be said to be any political prisoner problem in America. 

Senator Borah. I want to ask you, in connection with that sug¬ 
gestion of yours, to what extent are arrests being made now under 
the espionage act ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Well, Senator, I have not heard of any. 

Senator Borah. 1 have not heard of any either, but I did not know. 

Attorney General Palmer. Of course, we have not given any in¬ 
structions not to make any arrests under the espionage act, because 
obviously it is a law on the statute books and I can not say that a 
man shall not be arrested for the violation of a law; but I went on 
record, I think within 30 days after I became Attorney General, in 
favor of the repeal of the espionage act, and it is generally under¬ 
stood that so far as we can have a policy with respect to the enforce¬ 
ment of a criminal statute, our policy is a very lenient one. Have 
you heard of any arrests lately ? 

Mr. Stewart. In the last six months there have been probably 
three or four, in aggravated cases.

Attorney General Palmer. Of course, we have some hang-over 
cases, you know, Senator. 

Senator Borah. I simply had no information with regard to that, 
and I wondered whether or not there were any considerable viola¬ 
tions of it at the present time. 

Attorney General Palmer. Oh, no; it has all petered out. I would 
like to give instructions not to arrest under it, but I can not do that. 

Senator Borah. Would you agree with some of the rest of us, then, 
that it ought to be repealed ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I have been in favor of that for a long 
time. 

Senator Sterling. Just what do you mean? Do you mean that 
you would repeal the whole of it, generally, what is known as the 
espionage act, which includes, under Title II, for instance-- 

Senator Walsii of Montana. I am sure Attorney General Palmer 
refers only to section 3 of article 1 and the amended act. 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes. 

Senator Sterling. And Title IV, just taking them at random, 
which is Interference with foreign commerce by violent means, or 
Title V, Enforcement of neutrality ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I am not talking about that. I am 
talking about these sections under which we have brought cases. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. May I call your attention to section 
3 of Title I ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Excuse me a minute, Senator. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes. 

Attorney General Palmer. May I say this ? Every time I have 
said anything about the wisdom of repealing the espionage act I have 
tried to call attention to the necessity for some legislation, particu¬ 
larly against the attempt or threat to injure or destroy the Govern¬ 
ment of the United States by force or violence. 

Senator Borah. May I ask, does your report here show how many 
convictions have been had under section 3 of Title XII; that is, in 
regard to the use of the mails, etc. ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I suppose that every one of those cases 
will show- 

Senator Borah. This [indicating document] ? 

Attorney General Palmer. No, not that; I mean the big list. 
Those are the draft cases there. Each case will show what it is 
brought under. I can not give you the number. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Are you trying any of these pending 
cases ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Some of them are on appeal. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes; but you have not tried any cases 
in the trial courts ? 

Attorney General Palmer. We have recently tried a case under the 
trading with the enemy act. We have secured a conviction under the 
trading with the enemy act within a month in New York. I do not 
think we are trying any espionage act cases, are we ? 

Mr. Stewart. Not in the last five months, that I can recall, off¬ 
hand; but there was one argued, involving two defendants, at St. 
Louis. 

Attorney General Palmer. That was on appeal. 




AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


85 


Mr. Stewart. That was on appeal. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes. 

Attorney General Palmer. That was from southern California ? 

Mr. Stewart. That was one in southern California, involving two 
defendants. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. You spoke about the repeal of the 
espionage act. By that I suppose you referred to section 3 of Title I 
of the act, and the act amending that section ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Yes. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. If the act should be repealed—and the 
Judiciary Committee now has a bill under consideration to this 
effect—would you think it advisable to save the prosecutions now 
pending, or to let those fall with the act ? 

Attorney General Palmer. Oh, I should think they ought to be 
saved, Senator. It never seemed to me entirely fair that persons who 
are able to delay trial by one means or another should not have punish¬ 
ment, while those who are not able to delay trial would be punished. 
If the crime was committed during the pendency of the act, I think 
clemency is the only way to reach it. It would operate very decidedly 
to the advantage of the man who was able to fight his battle through 
all the courts. 

It has been our policy with respect to all these cases where there 
has been doubt to resolve that doubt in favor of the defendant, to be 
merciful in respect to all of them; because, after all, pardon is a matter 
of mercy—is a matter of grace. 

Where defendants upon appeal have secured a new trial a long time 
after the war, only in the rarest cases ought we to proceed to a new 
trial. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Is it not a fair presumption, after a 
lapse of more than two years since the war closed, that a case not yet 
tried is one probably of not very grave character ? 

Attorney General Palmer. I think so. We are not talking so much 
about cases not tried as cases pending. 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Probably on appeal. 

Attorney General Palmer, Yes. Those are apt to be the very 
important cases. 

Senator Borah. I have felt inclined to a general amnesty policy 
for all prisoners convicted under section 3 of the amended act to the 
espionage act. Two years have passed and those who were convicted 
have been punished. Ordinarily, punishments which were assessed 
during the war have in them the ingredients which come from the 
moods and passions of war. But as I understand, you think that 
policy would necessitate the same kind of action that the department 
is now taking, and nothing would be gained by it ? 

Attorney Geneial Palmer. I think that policy has been largely 
carried out, and under this plan which we have been working upon 
will soon be carried to the end. 

Senator Borah. But such a man as Debs would not get out under 
that policy at all, would he? 

Attorney General Palmer. I would not say that he would not. 

Senator Sterling. You would not say that he would not? 

Attorney General Palmer. No.

Senator Walsh of Montana. Has his case been disposed of ? 
Senator Borah. Yes; I understood that it had been passed upon. 
Attorney General Palmer. No, sir. 

Senator Sterling. It has been passed upon by the Supreme Court 

of the United States. . , 

Senator Walsh of Montana. Yes; but that was not the question ot 

pardon. , 

Senator Borah. His application for pardon I thought has been 

refused ? 

Attorney General Palmer. No. 

Senator Borah. Then, I misunderstood. 

Senator Sterling. Have you anything further to ask Mr. Palmer s 
Senator Borah. No. .

other matters.)

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


Senator Sterling. Since the last hearing I have received the fol¬ 
lowing communication from Attorney General Palmer relative to 
testimony in the hearing on the amnesty resolution. With his letter 
he submits certain data which 1 think should go into the record. I 
will read the letter \ reading] : 

Department of Justice, 

Office of the Attorney General, 

Washington , D. C., January 20, 1921. 

Hon. Thomas Sterling, 

Chairman Judiciary Subcommittee, 

United States Senate, Washington, D. C. 


My Dear Senator : Supplementing my report on the number of cases acted 
upon by the President up to and including this date, and the number of cases 
now before the department, I have to state that my statement should have 
included 26 defendants who have been released on parole. Nine of these de¬ 
fendants were paroled after the President had commuted their sentences to 
shorter terms of imprisonment. These nine are therefore included in the cases 
where pardons or commutations of sentence were granted by the President. 

The President on January 16, 1921, commuted the sentence of L. W. Boehner 
from three years to one year and one day in the United States Penitentiary at 
Leavenworth, Ivans. This should have been added to the 199 cases reported, 
which would make the total number of persons pardoned and commuted by the 
President 200 instead of 199, and would reduce the cases pending to 129 in¬ 
stead of 130. 

I inclose herewith a tabular statement, alphabetically arranged, showing the 
names of those who have been released on parole. 

Respectfully, 


A. Mitchell Palmer, 

Attorney General.

AMNESTY AND PARDON FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS. 


WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1921. 

United States Senate, 

Subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary, 

Washington , D. C. 

The subcommittee met at 2 o’clock p. m., Senator Thomas Sterling 
presiding. 

Present,Senators Sterling (chairman), Walsh of Montana, and King. 

Senator Sterling. I want for the purposes of the record in the 
amnesty hearings to submit certain papers which I have here. With¬ 
out reading them I will simply designate them. 

Here is one from Rev. Walker S. Davison, Arlington Avenue 
Presbyterian Church, East Orange, N. J. 

Here is another from the International Photo-Engravers’ Union 
of North America. This is from the president, Matthew Woll, 
Chicago, Ill. 

Next is a letter from the Central Labor Council of Seattle and 
vicinity. 

Next is a telegram from Philip Zausner, secretary of the New York 
District Council, stating that it represents 15,000 organized painters 
and decorators. 

Next is a telegram from the president and secretary of the Glass 
Bottle Blowers’ Association, representing, so it states, 10,000 skilled 
workers, asking for the passage of the resolution. 

Also another telegram from D. J. Tobin, general president of the 
International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs, saying: 

In behalf of our international, of which I am president, I urge that your committee 
act favorably on Senator France’s amnesty resolution. 

Also I have a telegram from the White Goods Workers’ Union 
Local 62, of the International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union, 
stated to be with a membership of 5,000 in New York City. 

Also I have a telegram from L. Langer, secretary of the Joint 
Board of the Cloak, Skirt, and Reefer Makers’ Union of Greater New 
York, stated to be an organization with 50,000 members. 

Also a telegram from W. S. O’Connor, Secretary of the Boston 
Central Labor Union. 

Also I have a letter addressed to the chairman of the Judiciary 
Committee, Senator Nelson, from the American Civil Liberties Union, 
signed bv Albert D. Silver, director. All these communications favor 
the passage of the resolution. 

Senator Walsii of Montana. Mr. Chairman, I take it that there is 
no occasion for spreading these letters and telegrams at large on the 
record. The reference made by the chairman seems to me to be 
sufficient for the purpose. 

Senator Sterling. Of course they all express the same desire, for 
the passage of the resolution, and I do not know that there is any need 
of the telegrams being put in the record in full. I think perhaps this 
last letter, addressed to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, 
should go in the record.

Senator Walsh of Montana. Very well. 

Senator King. I see these telegrams are all practically identical,, 
and the letters, Mr. Chairman. 

Senator Sterling. This letter is perhaps of more importance. Let 
that go in the record in full. 

The letter referred to is here printed in full in the record, as follows: 


American Civil Liberties Union, 

New York City , January 5, 1921. 

Hon. Knute Nelson, 

Senate Committee on the Judiciary , 

The Capitol , Washington, D. C. 

My Dear Senator: I understand that there will be a hearing before the Senate 
Judiciary Committee to-morrow morning upon the resolution introduced by Senator 
France favoring a general amnesty for political prisoners. On behalf of the American 
Civil liberties Union, I desire to indicate to your committee our support of the reso¬ 
lution in question. 

It has occurred to me that there may be some doubt in the minds of members of 
the Judiciary Committee as to the power of Congress to declare amnesty by legislative 
act. In this connection permit me to direct your attention to the words of the United 
States Supreme Court in Brown v. Walker (161 U. S., 591), at page 601: 

“Although the Constitution vests in the President ‘power to grant reprieves and 
pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment,’ this 
power has never been held to take from Congress the power to pass acts of general 
amnesty.” 

Accordingly, since it is apparent that power is lodged in the legislative branch of 
the Government to declare a general amnesty, it seems appropriate to state to your 
committee the reasons which prompt us to support the resolution now before you. 
In the first place, it should be observed that in spite of statements to the contrary, 
the persons convicted under the espionage act, although technically found guilty 
of acts against the Government’s policy, have in fact been convicted for their religious, 
social, or political opinions expressed in word or print. The fact that the sole evi¬ 
dence of the commission of the acts with which such persons have been charged has 
been proof of such opinions, either spoken or written, makes it abundantly clear that 
they stand convicted of offenses primarily political in their nature. 

It should also be remembered that in practically every great nation of the western 
world except the United States, a general amnesty of political offenders has already 
been declared. Such action has been taken in England, France, Belgium, and 
Italy. And accordingly, it seems to us to be a source of regret and indeed of humilia¬ 
tion that our country should be behind our allies in the late war in an act indispensable 
to political tolerance and national generosity. 

It would perhaps be fitting at this point to call to your attention the statement 
issued by the President of the United States on Christmas Day in respect to his 
reasons for not issuing a pardon to Eugene V. Debs, whose case, we presume, was used 
by him as typical of the many others which come within the same class. The Presi¬ 
dent, it will be recalled, stated that he had refused to pardon Debs because the latter 
was not repentant. The reason why Debs is not repentant is, of course, self-evident. 
He was convicted for speaking what he believed to be the truth and he has not 
changed his mind about it. If he would change his mind and so state, it is likely that 
such action on his part would be dee me d to show a repe ntant spirit and thathe would thus 
earn a pardon. I am sure we need not point out to the members of your committee 
that to keep men and women in prison because they are unwilling to retract social, 
political, or religious opinions expressed by them, is in itself the essence of political 
persecution. Such conduct is the modern expression of the spirit and philosophy 
which underlay the religious persecutions of the seventeenth century. It has been 
until this time the pride of every American that our forefathers once and for all put 
an end to this spirit of intolerance. The opportunity is now before your committee 
and before the Congress of the United States, by adopting the resolution before you, 
again to reaffirm the spirit of political toleration which has thus been suspended. It 
is our earnest hope that the action which we indicate will be taken, and to this end 
may we request that this communication be read at the hearing to-morrow. 

Very sincerely, yours, 


Albert De Silver, Director. 


(Thereupon the subcommitte adjourned.)
